5 Gin Cocktail Recipes To Keep You Warm This Winter

0

It’s always Gin o’clock somewhere in the world. So, girl, you’re going to love what we’ve got here! A favourite with the ladies, gin as an alcoholic spirit is low in calories, smooth, and makes a great base for fresh and fruity cocktails. Also, it’s the perfect match for the monsoon season because, like whiskey and rum, gin will warm you right up. Since the cold months are not yet over, we’re down to be fancy nancies with some restaurant-level drinks at home.

So, we caught up with leading mixologists from the top restaurants in Mumbai and got them to spill the tea (or in this case, the gin), and share cocktail recipes that you can shake and stir up in no time.

Keep your gin up, girls—we’re on the booze cruise.
