You'll Be Sipping This 2-Ingredient Gin Cocktail All Summer Long

When summer is around the corner, gin emerges as a frontrunner for your cocktails of choice with the summer collins, a two-ingredient drink combining only gin and lemonade.

The summer collins is bright, citrusy, and floral. The botanicals in gin, such as juniper, coriander, and citrus peel, lend a complex and floral flavor to this drink.

Some recommend a simple 50/50 mix of gin and lemonade, but that's a pretty potent glass. Consider a more traditional ratio — around one part gin for every three parts lemonade.

You can use simple fresh lemonade, a fizzy sparkling lemonade, or even minty Egyptian lemonade. Any option will be plenty revitalizing in the summer heat.
