Keep Your Gin Up!
Warm days and crisp fall evenings are here, and there’s no better time to break out the glasses and stir up some trouble! We’re giving you 10 different gin recipes to indulge in this season, five simple recipes and five recipes for the pro mixologist. We turned to expert mixologist Dallas Juanes of Verbena Kitchen in San Diego for five cocktail recipes that’ll keep us quenched this season. Each of these palate-pleasing libations features a splash of Hendrick’s Neptunia Gin—a spirit inspired by the “invigorating coastal air and endless mysteries of the sea.” We’ll raise a glass to that.
