Saturday afternoon Gin cocktails

by Clare Leave a Comment

Well, who are we to say no to a cocktail making kit with the aim of coming up with our favourite gin cocktail. Given that gin seems to be the spirit of choice just now and long gone are my vodka drinking days. The number of gin palaces popping up all over the place shows how much we’re in love with gin.  This seemed like a perfect Saturday afternoon activity and we had so much fun we’ve actually come up with 2 cocktails for you.
