Looking for some fun and delicious drinks to make at home?
I had gone to a distillery with some girlfriends one weekend and discovered that I like gin! This was something I never knew. I was so excited when I got home, telling my boyfriend about this delicious gin that I tried and loved. He gave me this look and told me that what I had wasn’t true gin and that I’m not someone who likes gin.
Determined to show him that he was wrong, I planned a date night in, I found ten different gin drink recipes, we made and tried them all. He was wrong, I do like gin, IF it is mixed well in a drink. These two recipes below are our two favorites out of all the experiments that we did. They are now our go to drinks. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do, and please try to be somewhat responsible when you drink them. (Don’t say I didn’t warn you :))

*When I make my simple syrups, I tend to add just a bit of extra water to them to stretch my honey and sugar a bit farther.
