I love a good cocktail at the end of a long day. Â If I’m out, I’ll go for the fancier ones, but when I’m at home…it’s all about simplicity. Â Simplicity and flavor.
It really doesn’t get much easier than this Strawberry Gin Smash. Â It’s definitely one of my favorite simple cocktail recipes.
It uses simple ingredients and there are no complicated steps. Â That’s my kind of cocktail!
I used Blue Coat Gin in this cocktail. I love its smooth taste and the bright citrus finish.
You can easily make this cocktail by the glass or multiply the recipe and make a big pitcher.

I love a simple margarita using just tequila, agave, and lime juice. Shake in shaker with ice and pour over ice. Can add a bit of sour mix or can top off with seltzer.
