There are a lot of different ways to serve gin drinks, but there are several that are incredibly popular. The martini is a popular choice, along with the gin-and-tonic and ginlet. Find out your favorite drink by learning more about these drinks! These gin drinks are also available in recipes.
Gin martini
Gin martini is a very popular gin beverage. Its main flavour comes from the Juniper plant. This is why martinis are a popular choice when you want a sophisticated drink. You can mix gin of any type and create your very own flavored gin drink. Garnishes such as a lemon wedge, cherry, or olives are important to make or break the drink.
Martini cocktails are traditionally made with dry vermouth. However, there are many types of vermouth. A classic Martini has half an ounce vermouth. For an extra flavor boost, you can add a splash of water or spray to the mix. Although dry vermouth is most popular, sweet vermouth can also be used. Vermouth can be used to make Gin Martinis. There are two main types of vermouth: sweet vermouth and dry vermouth.
Negroni
Negroni is an Italian drink that can easily be made to suit any taste. Campari, the bitter Italian liqueur is an integral part of this recipe. However, you can also use other bitter liquors like tequila or mezcal to make your own variations. The bitterness from the vermouth also plays an important part in the flavor. So the stronger the spirit, the better.
Although the cocktail is best served on the rocks it can also be made in a shaker. Negroni is often enjoyed at bars and can be purchased in a mailbox if you are travelling by train. You can also make this at home by blending Campari with gin. It is important that the gin you choose has juniper content, but it doesn't clash with the Negroni's herbal vermouth.
French 75
French 75 is a very well-known gin cocktail. Original recipe required a full-strength cocktail and a half-glass of wine to accompany it. As time passed, the recipe was modified to suit brunchers by lowering its alcohol content. This light, charming cocktail is still a hit with the crowd. Try mixing gin with other liquors to make it even more exciting.
The French 75 packs quite a punch, yet it looks very elegant despite its large ingredients. This cocktail is made from gin mixed with simple syrup and lemon juice. A newer version, the French 75 Bramble, is made with blackberry brandy and raspberry liquor. Before serving, let the mixture sit for at least two hours. After the ingredients have soaked for at minimum two hours, you may top it off with champagne.

How to make the best Manhattan cocktail
A Manhattan is one of the most famous cocktails in the world. Harry Craddock introduced it to the world in his book "The Savoy Bar Book" (1930). In this cocktail, equal amounts of sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, gin, and rye whiskey are mixed together with ice cubes. Some people add bitters, orange juice, maraschino cherry, or even Angostura Bitters. There are many variations on the Manhattan recipe.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail with four ingredients. It can be served straight up in an ice-cold glass. Its origins date back to the 19th century when it was called the Four Deuces because it contained two measures of whisky, two measures of rye, and two measures of gin. Bartenders and drinkers continue to love the original recipe.
Some prefer bourbon over rye while others prefer brandy. However, both work equally well. You should use equal amounts of each ingredient in a Manhattan. You would use two shots each of rye and sweet vermouth. Four shots of dry vermouth is also recommended. Eight shots of vodka are sufficient. Mix them together and let rest for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture into a bowl and serve. Add a maraschino or lemon twist to garnish.
