                     Tempting Gin Cocktails to Try Now
Unless you live in a place blessed with warmth and sunshine all 365 days, right now you
would be hard-pressed to find any blossoming flowers. Floral-inspired gins are trending,
giving us permission to take a backseat in favour of petal power from varieties such as
iris, hibiscus, and violet.
Gin is the reigning king of summer. It’s light, botanical, and it blends easily with all manner 
of  juices, sodas and, well pretty much anything else you can think of. But then, amazing fact 
is it  makes for fantastic, tempting & refreshing cocktails all year 'round, as well. The 
versatile spirit  can add refreshment (such as the Gin or Gimlet & Tonic), or it can provide 
structure to boozier  stirred drinks (such as Martinis).
Right from the sweet & simple to the sublime & complex, any of the given easy-drinking  
libations will refresh your soul.
1)Gimlet:-
The original recipe for a Gimlet was known as “Gin and a spot of lime.” And in the 1930s,
The Savoy Cocktail Book(the exact book in which the Greyhound made its debut),
the standardized recipe involves equal parts of both Gin and Rose’s Lime Juice. Now-a-days,  
we prefer to have our drinks a touch stiffer. Thus, with time the recipe has grown more  
alcoholic. Now, it’s two parts of Gin to one part Rose’s lime, a right combination for keeping  
it light, refreshing, but not too sweet. If you ask us, it’s one of the simplest and best summer 
 cocktail recipes available.
The Gimlet is a combination of circumstance versus creativity, though with time it’s grinned  
and perfected. Its origins are at stumped when limes were mandatory rations for sailors to  
battle scurvy. Gin was the first choice for several sailors of that time. The combination of 
Gin  & Lime Juice made one another more palatable and countless seamen which avoided  
vitamin deficiency.
As for the name, it’s from one among two places - either from a little tool used for tapping  
barrels of liquor on ships or from a British naval officer named Sir Thomas Gimlette, an  
enthusiastic adopter of the Gin-Lime combination.
Gimlet Ingredients
 2 ounces of gin
 1 ounce of Rose’s lime juice (use 1/2 ounces of fresh lime juice and 1/2 ounces of  
simple syrup if you’ve got no Rose’s)
 Lime wedge
Gimlet Recipe
1. Add Gin, Rose’s & ice in a shaker, and shake.
2. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
3. Garnish with a lime wedge.
2)New York Sour:-
A clever spin on the classic New York Sour, the creation skips the red wine floater in favour 
of  cherry cordial and orange liqueur. This cocktail is perfect for enjoying sunset lounging at 
the  end of a long day. Go ahead, and treat yourself.
New York Sour Ingredients
 2 ounces of Dorothy Parker American gin
 3/4 ounces of American Fruits sour cherry cordial
 1/4 ounces of Combier
 1/2 ounces of fresh lemon juice
 Club soda, for topping
 Garnish with lemon twist
New York Recipe
1. Add all the ingredients except the club soda to a shaker fill with 
ice.
2. Strain into a Collins glass which is filled with ice.
3. Topping with club soda and garnish with a lemon twist.
3)Beefeater London Garden Gin:-
The inspiration for this expression came from the Chelsea Physic Garden, which was
created to teach apothecaries and pharmacists about the medicinal properties of plants.  In 
relation to the botanicals that are included in the brand’s classic London Dry Gin  (Thyme, 
Juniper, Lemon Peel, Seville orange and lemon peels, angelica root and seeds,  coriander 
seed, and licorice root), master distiller Desmond Payne introduced thyme and  lemon 
verbena. He says the latter two lend herbal and fresh dimension along with its  floral 
character make the spirit perfect for savory cocktails such as the Red Snapper.
Beefeater London Garden Gin

4)50/50 Martini:-
The classic Martini has a storied history, although one which is pretty difficult to pin down  
with precision. The Dry Martini as we know it today most probably took form around the 
turn  of the 20th century, and ever since then, it has been a popular vehicle for 
experimentation.
The usual recipe of Gin, Dry Vermouth and sometimes bitters leave a lot of room for  
interpretation. Go more on the Gin for a drier drink, and more Vermouth for a wetter drink.  
But even those wetter Martinis generally don’t give the Gin and Vermouth equal footing. 
For  that, you must opt the 50/50 Martini.
This variation calls for equal contributions of Gin and Dry Vermouth, yielding a drink that’s 
low  in alcohol and far less dry than most recipes. The drink’s origin story is a fuzzy one, and 
it’s  likely that most people in different places at various points in time experimented with a 
50/50  ratio of ingredients. But the drink’s very first appearance in a cocktail book(The Savoy 
Cocktail  Book) belongs to Harry Craddock’s.
Like a lot of old-school drinks, the 50/50 Martini disappeared from rotation until a band of  
pioneering bartenders brought it back to life in the late 90s and early-20s.At Milk & Honey,  
Sasha Petraske served the cocktail, and at Pegu Club, Audrey Saunders put it on her menu— 
 both located in New York. Dubbed the “Fitty-Fitty,” Pegu Club’s version featured identical  
measures of Gin and Vermouth, plus one dash each of Regan’s orange bitters and Fee  
Brother’s orange bitters. It was there at Pegu Club, where hoards of enthusiastic drinkers  
were 1st introduced to the 50/50 Martini’s charms.
While making the cocktail, you have three important factors: Gin to use, Vermouth to use, 
and  whether to add orange bitters or not. The ability to select your own adventure allows 
you to  personalize the drink to your taste. A floral French Vermouth and London dry Gin 
leans  traditional, while a modern, less juniper-heavy Gin paired with an herbal, more bitter  
Vermouth can take the recipe completely in new directions. Orange bitters are there in 
order  to provide structure and a mild zesty note. With its lighter flavour and lower-alcohol  
sensibilities, the 50/50 might not be the Martini you’re used to, but it’s a Martini worth  
having.
50/50 Martini Ingredients
 3/2 ounces of gin
 3/2 ounces of dry vermouth
 1 dash of orange bitters
 Garnish: lemon twist
50/50 Martini Recipe
1. Add the gin, dry vermouth and orange bitters to a glass fill with ice and stir until 
well-  chilled.
