Easy Gin Cocktails
Liquor of choice? Gin, all the way. Well, except for tequila. Actually I'm fond of a lot of liquors, but gin makes it to the top because of gin and tonics. I love them. They are the perfect cure for a rough day.
I also love ginger and went scrolling the web looking for an easy gin cocktail that might combine my favorite gin with my homemade ginger liqueur.
At Sweet Paul Magazine, I found a gin and ginger ale cocktail that also included ginger liqueur. Perfect.

Gin and Ginger Ale Cocktail
This cocktail is wonderful and so easy to make! You simply mix your ingredients in a small pitcher and stir. Then pour into a rocks glass filled with ice and garnish with a lemon slice!
While I highly recommend the ginger liqueur, especially if you use my homemade ginger liqueur, you can make this cocktail without it. Gin and Ginger Ale is called a Gin Buck and with only two ingredients joins my other favorite two ingredient cocktail, a Black Russian and a Violette Royale.

The original recipe called for 2 cups ginger ale. It seems that is missing based on the move to the new blog?
