Summertime GINger Recipe

Summertime GINger Cocktail - Gin and Gingerale and blueberries and mint, oh my!
I recently stumbled on Gin and Ginger, and actually thought that I created (and named) it. Imagine my disappointment when at a work event my coworker went up to the bar and ordered my new "signature" drink! While I am still a huge fan of a plain old Gin and Ginger, my new at home drink is my "Summertime GINger" It is super refreshing on a hot day and isn't too sweet but I really want to try doing half and half Ginger Beer and Soda Water in place of the Gingerale, it'll give it a stronger ginger kick and cut some of the gingerale sweetness.


  • Shot of Gin (my favorite is Bombay!)
  • Spritz of lemon
  • Fresh Mint leaves
  • Blueverries
  • Ginger Ale
  • Optional: Peychaud Bitters

Ingredients

Refreshing Summer Cocktail

Directions

  1. Take a glass (I personally prefer a mason jar!) and add ribbons of mint and a hand full of blueberries 
  2. Carefully muddle and crush the blueberries and mint
  3. Add ice, then a shot of Gin. Full to almost the top with Ginger Ale (or try with ginger beer for an extra tang!)
  4. Add spritz of lemon and/or dash of Peychaud Bitters to taste
  5. Relax and enjoy!

I have never tried gin but this recipe sounds great. I love the muddled blueberries in it too!

I have a new gin I've been meaning to try and I think it will be great with this fun summer combo.
