I have for you the quintessential summer sipper! It’s perfect for those craving a citrusy refreshment without being loaded up with sugar. With a squeeze of fresh lime to add some freshness to the glass, you are moments away from enjoying one for yourself. I’ve also included a detailed section on different types of gin and their flavor profiles to help you choose your perfect variety. I was never a big fan of the typical types of gin served in restaurants with the intense juniper flavor! I know there are a lot of people who avoid gin for this very reason. Turns out there are different variations with flavor profiles that will suit anyone’s preference!

I can’t be running a food blog without offering you food pairings with your homemade cocktails, can I? That would just be irresponsible. Fear not! I have worked hard for you, testing, sipping, tasting, to find my favorite G&T food pairings:
