Cheers to the weekend! If you’re anything like me, you’ve been counting down the minutes until 5pm so that you could kick off your shoes, head to the water, and sip on a sunset cocktail! While I am nowhere near the beach tonight, I will be at some point this weekend. I’m ready to relax and enjoy what is left of summer before school starts next week.

I typically do not drink gin, but when it’s mix with the right ingredients it is an amazing combination! I used to LOVE gin and tonics with several slices of fresh limes back in college, but I opted for fruity cocktails as I got older. We recently taste-tested a local distillery, and I was reminded just how much I missed mixing gin in cocktails!

Gin Cocktails

This simple recipe includes gin, pineapple juice, and San Pellegrino! I used the Clementina variety, but you could mix it up and try one of their other flavors.

Don’t forget to add sugar to the rim of your martini glass for a sugary sweet sip!
