These summer gin cocktails are full of flavor and the perfect summer sips! Combining the base botanical spirit with fresh fruits, herbs and some carbonation, we have some great gin cocktails to pick from on this list!
This strawberry gin and tonic uses fresh muddled strawberries to add fresh fruit flavor to this classic cocktail.
This Basil Gimlet uses fresh basil simple syrup in this simple drink. Easy to make with just a few ingredients, this refreshing cocktail is a must make!
This gin smash cocktail is full of berry flavor with blackberries, raspberries and strawberries. With the addition of mint simple syrup and topped with soda water, this refreshing sip is a must make!
This pink drink is a delicious sour sip. Fresh blueberries and limoncello combine with gin for this light cocktail.
This basil and cucumber smash cocktail is light and herbal, a perfect pairing with gin and topped with tonic. The perfect cucumber ribbons are so fun, too!
This purple cocktail topped with pillowy egg foam, we combined blackberries and lavender for a rich and light egg white cocktail. Using edible flowers for the garnish, this one is summer perfection!
A Singapore Sling is a classic cocktail for a reason. Rich, but refreshing and fun, this boozy combo of gin, cherry brandy and grenadine is topped with sweet and sour and club soda.
This Barenjager Bee's Knees is full of flavor by using Barenjager honey liqueur instead of honey simple syrup. The lemon juice and gin combine in this super simple but refreshing drink!
This Basil Ginger Gimlet is full of fresh herbal flavor from the fresh basil as well as the bite of ginger for a great sip!
This lovely pink sip is a great combo of blackberry and lavender. A Gin and Tonic with fresh berry syrup and the herbalness of lavender work well with the added addition of limoncello, too!

This fun purple cocktail is made using Empress 1908 Gin and elderflower liqueur. This one does have egg white, as well!
This fresh elderflower and grapefruit G & T had added fresh rosemary, too! A great refreshing sip all year long, I think!
This Lavender Lemon Gin and Tonic has been converted to a boozy granita. We added blue ice that melts into a purple pool for the "lavender" accent, but the flavor is definitely in the mix, too!

These are gorgeous and refreshing, perfect for summer! I can always use more gin recipes in my back pocket as we're gin fans in this household but usually on the boring side with a gin and tonic. Looking forward to mixing a few of these up this weekend and all summer long!

Couldn't agree with you more! Gin + summer = amazing. This is one heck of a collection you've got here, and with so many wonderful flavours and variations. With the gorgeous sunny weather we've got today, I could go for one or three of these right now. Love that clover club in particular. Go raspberry.
