Here are a few easy cocktails to make that any aspiring mixologist should be able to knock together in two shakes of a cocktail glass.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Aviation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dating back to 1916, the classic Aviation gin cocktail was invented by the head bartender at the Hotel Wallick in New York. It was named the Aviation because the cr\u00e8me de violette turns the cocktail a pale purple sky-blue colour \u2013 but if you can\u2019t get your hands on any, this classic gin cocktail is just as nice without.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">45ml gin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15ml lemon juice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15ml maraschino liqueur<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 barspoon cr\u00e8me de violette<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maraschino cherry\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add everything into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake well, then strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a maraschino cherry.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Gimlet<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It doesn\u2019t get much more simple or much more refreshing than the classic Gimlet, a gin cocktail that keeps it uncomplicated and easy. The legend goes that Gimlet gin cocktail recipes date back to British sailors in the late 18<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> century. Sailors needed the Vitamin C in citrus fruits to avoid scurvy \u2013 and the best way to get them to drink it? Mix it with alcohol, obviously. The Gimlet is a lot more elegant now, even rating a mention in Raymond Chandler\u2019s classic hard-boiled detective novel <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Long Goodbye, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">claiming \u2018a real gimlet is half gin and half Rose&#8217;s lime juice cordial and nothing else\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50ml lime cordial or homemade lime syrup<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50ml gin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lime slice<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mix the gin and lime in a glass, then serve in a chilled martini glass and garnish with a slice of lime on the rim.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Negroni<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the classic Italian gin cocktails, the Negroni is a perfect pre-dinner aperitif \u2013 but this refreshing orange-hued Negroni is just as good at any time of the day. Don\u2019t worry, we won\u2019t report you to the cocktail police.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25ml gin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25ml sweet vermouth<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25ml Campari<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orange slice or peel<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stir into a short glass over ice, garnish with a sliver of orange peel or an orange slice and serve.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Modern gin cocktails<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve mastered the classics, it\u2019s time to remix with some of these modern gin cocktail recipes. Adding bold new flavours and expanding your repertoire of gin cocktails is a sure-fire way to impress your friends and make you feel like a mixologist master.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Bramble<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A timeless favourite, the Bramble gin cocktail recipe is easy to follow and guaranteed to look striking in a short glass with plenty of ice, shot through with cr\u00e8me de mure. A bramble isn\u2019t complete without a blackberry garnish, so this gin cocktail is best enjoyed while fresh British blackberries are in season,<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50ml gin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25ml lemon juice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00betbsp sugar syrup<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00betbsp cr\u00e8me de mure<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lemon slice and a blackberry<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shake the gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup together over ice in a cocktail shaker. Strain into a rocks glass filled with crushed ice, and drizzle the cr\u00e8me de mure over the top. Garnish with lemon and blackberry.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pink Lady<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This pretty pink gin cocktail is so striking to look at, with a unique pink hue. It\u2019s on the sweeter side, but that sugary grenadine hit perfectly balances the gin. Gin cocktails like this are perfect for a romantic occasion \u2013 think Valentine\u2019s Day, a special anniversary, or maybe mix one together for your<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thortful.com\/gin?occasion=Mothers%2520Day\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mum this Mother\u2019s Day<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">100ml gin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4tsp grenadine<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Egg white<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maraschino cherry<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shake together the gin and grenadine over ice and strain into a jug, discarding the ice. Tip the egg white into the shaker, and pour the gin mixture back in, then shake thoroughly until the egg white is frothy. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a maraschino cherry.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Earl Grey martini<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can\u2019t get much more British than a martini made with classic Earl Grey tea and a brilliant English gin, like Salcombe Gin \u2018Start Point\u2019, distilled with the finest botanicals on the Devon coast. The bergamot oils in the Earl Grey add a pleasingly citrus zing to this refined gin cocktail recipe.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50ml gin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">35ml strong cold Earl Grey tea<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20ml lemon juice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12ml sugar syrup<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Egg white<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lemon twist<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make a strong cup of Earl Grey tea, using two teabags. Steep for 5 minutes, then let cool. Shake the tea together with gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup and egg whites into a cocktail shaker. Shake for about ten seconds, then add ice and shake vigorously. Double strain into a chilled Martini glass rimmed with sugar, garnish with a lemon twist and serve.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Gin fizz cocktails<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The combination of a fine gin like Salcombe Gin \u2018Start Point\u2019 and a delicious sparkling wine like Nyetimber\u2019s classic English sparkling cuvee is a match truly made in heaven. And oh, would you look at that \u2013 you can get both of them right here from thortful! So craft one of these gin recipes and enjoy the very best of both worlds with a classic gin fizz cocktail.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>French 75<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s nothing better than a cocktail name with a great origin, and the French 75 certainly has that. Dating back to World War 1, this gin cocktail was named because it was said to have the same kick as a French 75mm field gun. So mix this gin fizz cocktail with caution \u2013 but then throw caution to the wind and enjoy the sharp, sweet and fizzy taste anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50ml gin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1tbsp lemon juice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1tsp sugar syrup<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sparkling wine<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lemon twist<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shake the gin, syrup and lemon juice together with ice in a cocktail shaker. Strain into a chilled champagne glass and top up with sparkling wine, then garnish with a lemon twist and serve.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Elderflower gin fizz<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The all-time classic combination of gin and fizz is the imaginatively named\u2026 Gin Fizz. Oh well; if it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it. And there\u2019s certainly nothing broken about a classic gin cocktail \u2013 but might we suggest adding a twist with sweet and richly flavoured elderflower liqueur? Perfectly balanced between sweet and tart, it\u2019s perfect for warm summer days.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50ml gin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30ml elderflower liqueur or cordial<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25ml lemon juice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2tsp sugar syrup<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sparkling wine<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lemon slice and\/or mint leaf<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shake the gin, elderflower, lemon juice and sugar syrup together over ice in a cocktail shaker.

With the sweetness of honey counteracting the bitter gin and sharp lemon juice and sparkling wine adding plenty of fizz, this is a great cocktail to kick the evening off with.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">35ml gin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20ml honey<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20ml lemon juice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">70ml sparkling wine<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shake the gin, honey and lemon juice together in a cocktail shaker with ice, then strain into a chilled coupe glass and top up with sparkling wine.
