I love a good cocktail at the end of a long day.  If I’m out, I’ll go for the fancier ones, but when I’m at home…it’s all about simplicity.  Simplicity and flavor.

It really doesn’t get much easier than this Strawberry Gin Smash.  It’s definitely one of my favorite simple cocktail recipes.

It uses simple ingredients and there are no complicated steps.  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.
