Three Easy Summer Gin Serves

Summer is made for long, cold gin drinks — on the deck, at the bach or after a day outdoors. You don't need a bar full of bottles: each of these serves takes one Humdinger gin, a couple of simple ingredients and plenty of ice.

1. The Foghorn — zesty and spicy

Our Citrus Gin with fresh lime and ginger beer: the gin answer to a Mule, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Get the Foghorn recipe.

2. The Gimlet — crisp and refreshing

Our back-to-back Gold Dry Gin with fresh lime, topped with tonic — our New Zealand twist on a timeless classic. Get the Gimlet recipe.

3. Sloe Gin Fizz — fruity and sparkling

Sloe Gin from New Zealand's only sloe orchard, shaken with lemon and a little syrup, then topped with soda — a long-time favourite at our festival pop-ups. Get the Sloe Gin Fizz recipe.

And the classic: a proper G&T

Nothing beats a well-made Gin & Tonic on a hot day. Our G&T guide covers the right gin-to-tonic ratio, the best tonic for each Humdinger gin and the garnishes that lift them.
