Cocktails made with gin, a centuries old British spirit, are a delicious way to relax in the company of friends on luxury patio furniture at the end of a long day. With that in mind we wanted to share 8 delicious and easy gin cocktails suggestions for your summer drinks.

A Classic G&T
You simply cannot go wrong with a gin and tonic, a refreshing choice for any occasion. With many different types and flavours, there is a gin and tonic for everyone. A favourite of ours is Sibling Gin made locally to us in the Cotswolds, with their range of flavoured gins using fresh ingredients, as pictured below on our Oxley’s cast aluminium patio furniture.

A gin-based version of a classic Mojito. A great minty cocktail for any occasion, sure to go down well with all your guests.
