These Summer Gin Cocktails are easy and delicious summer cocktails that are all gin-based. This list of cocktail recipes is perfect for any gin lover looking for new drinks to sip outside on the patio or by the pool this summer.

Gin seems to be less popular than vodka or rum when it comes to cocktails, so finding great gin cocktail recipes can be tricky. 

If you love gin recipes, you’ll want to make a note of these Christmas Gin Cocktails to try later on this year.

Why These Are The Best Summer Gin Drinks

  • Easy & Straightforward — All these recipes are approachable for the beginner bartender. Some of the recipes require making your own simple syrups, but there are always clear instructions with picture for each step as well as options for substitutions to make preparation easier. 
  • Fruity — These gin drink recipes all use fruits that are in season during summer, such as fresh berries. They also use fresh herbs that you may have growing in your garden, such as mint and lavender.
  • Delicious — The most important point of all, these are all refreshing and delicious cocktails that you and your friends and family will love!
