Tips For Making The Best Fall Gin Cocktails
- Use a mid-shelf gin. When mixed into cocktails, a mid-shelf gin (rather than a top-shelf one) is best. Generally top-shelf gins are meant for sipping neat or in very spirit forward drinks.
- Experiment with flavored simple syrups. If you want to create your own variations on these cocktails below, adding in a dash of a flavored simple syrup is a great way to do it. Try this rosemary simple syrup or this lavender simple syrup for example.
- Invest in a quality cocktail shaker. If you enjoy making cocktails at home, it can be worth it to upgrade your cocktail shaker. Higher quality cocktail shakers will prevent the ice from melting as much as you shake your drink so it doesn’t get watered down. They are also more insulated so your hands don’t get as cold.
