Gin is such a fun spirit to work with because it can be so varied. From bold and juniper-forward to soft and floral, I do believe there’s a gin out there that can appeal to anyone — even people who think they don’t like gin.
One of our favorite gins, Gray Whale Gin, has fresh citrusy flavors that are perfect for this time of year. So whether you’re looking for a G&T for Gin and Tonic day, or something light and refreshing to toast the arrival of spring, you can try out these recipes.
