What is a VERY SIMPLE cocktail that I can make with gin? I'm talking things like mixing gin with ice and tonic, or with ginger ale, or with juice. NO LIQUORS OR SYRUPS. I don't have access to either.

One bottle of tonic (20ml) 40ml (or more if that is your thing) gin. Loads of ice, three slices of cucumber and a piece of lime. Enjoy

Whisper "vermouth" at a glass of gin, wala you have a martini

>no access to liquors
Put your father's gin back and wait another 3 years, kiddo. You aren't cool for stealing.

Gin and tonic 10/10 don't need any other cocktails

>NO LIQUORS OR SYRUPS.
You can make simple syrup with 1 or 2 parts sugar and 1 part water in a saucepan.

G&T is the best.
Alternatively try a gin rickey. Gin, soda water, and lime.

A gin and tonic is one of the best cocktails ever and all you need is tonic water and ice.

[heaven No.9494811]

if you have it lying around or have money, adding a splash of pomegranate juice to the gin and tonic is fantastic

[Anonymous No.9494832]

>saucepan

you can also make it by just putting water and sugar in a seal-able jar and shaking the fuck out of it for about a minute.

All you need is gin + soda and some fresh citrus.

[Anonymous No.9496513]

>>9491648
Gin and sprite is the go to
Pineapple gin and ginger ale is also good
If you cant handle sugar very well, gin and seltzer.

[Anonymous No.9496537]

>>9494832
Why would you do that when you could just heat it in a saucepan and let the heat do all the work?

[Anonymous No.9496873]

Old fashioned

Whiskey + bitters + sugar

Jaeger and root beer hooooly shite mate

Gin fizz.

But honestly, if you know how to make gin tonic you don't need anything else desu

[Anonymous No.9498873]

Is it worth to invest in good gin?

I think that you're able to get away with cheaper stuff when it comes to gin, eapecially if you are using it in cocktails

[Anonymous No.9498938]

>>9498873
naw.
Gin is the spirit that most benefits from quality.
Invest in Tanquery 10, Star of Bombay and Monkey 47. Fever Tree tonic also important.

Gin Sour
1.5oz simple syrup (0.75oz water, 0.75oz sugar)

London Mule:
>2oz gin

>3/4 oz lime juice
>Shake (if you have nothing to shake with, just stir vigorously)
>Stir in 4oz ginger beer
>Express lime peel (cut a wheel out of the rind of a lime, run the inside part along the rim of the glass, and drop it in) <sounds stupid buttrust me, this makes a difference

I'm not even really into sparkling cocktails but I really enjoy this.

Anything I can do with a bottle of vermouth? I have a fuckton of it but not of any other drink.

4 parts vermouth, 2 parts club soda, ice and a lemon and drink.

Not great but it can be drinkable.

Most alcohol can be passable if youre desperate enough.

[Anonymous No.9500205]

FUCK

I just got back from the grocery store and realized I didn't buy any limes for my gin

FUCK

[Anonymous No.9500222]

>>9499747
dry or sweet? If dry buy some gin and make wet martinis. If sweet buy some rye whiskey and make manhattens

[Anonymous No.9500865]

>>9491648
Pour around 6 shots of gin into a small glass then put around 3 or 4 shots of ginger ale in then slam it back

the small amount of ginger ale is enough to stop the gin from burning your throat. It's a very pleasant way to get shit faced with minimal effort after work

[Anonymous No.9501630]

Gin and sweet and sour mix. Plus Cointreau, but your rules.
Gin and blue frost Gatorade. Gin and red bull and blue frost Gatorade.

Not that guy, but I have the same quandary. Mine is a bottle of dry vermouth. The stuff is not great to drink on its own, so martinis are the only thing you can do with it. I only drink them occasionally though, so I have a bottle that's at least half-full and it's 2 months old already.

I figure it might be better to get a sweet vermouth and just make sweet martinis + drink it on its own.

This all the way I haven't had tanquery 10 but star of Bombay is fantastic. Also i would recommend Ungava if they sell it near you it is made in Canada and is a weird yellow color shit tastes almost as good as Star of Bombay for a way lower price.

[Anonymous No.9503770]

Gin, Cloudy apple juice, cold black tea and some crushed raspberries.
You're welcome.
