Gin Squirt Ingredients

Gin Squirt Instructions

Gin Squirt is a refreshing and citrusy cocktail that is perfect for those hot summer days. Made with gin and a splash of fresh lemon juice, this cocktail is light and tangy, making it the perfect choice for those who prefer a slightly less sweet drink.

To make a Gin Squirt, start by filling a glass with ice. Then, pour in a shot of gin. Add a splash or two of fresh lemon juice. If you like a sweeter drink, you can also add a teaspoon of simple syrup. Give the mixture a stir to combine the ingredients.

Once everything is mixed together, top off the glass with soda water. The soda water adds a nice effervescence to the drink and helps to mellow out the tanginess of the lemon juice.

For a garnish, you can add a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint. Not only do these garnishes look beautiful, but they also add a touch of freshness to the drink.

Gin Squirt is a simple yet delicious cocktail that is sure to impress your friends and family. With its refreshing flavors and elegant appearance, it is the perfect choice for any occasion. So why not give it a try and see for yourself?


Best served in a Highball Glass.
