This is a crisp, tart, refreshing cocktail that tastes a bit like a honey-sweetened lemonade, but with a kick of gin to take the edge off. It’s exactly the kind of cocktail that calls for warm afternoons lazing in the sun, or summer evenings spent outside on the patio. The flavors are simple, but bold, with a little bit of a floral vibe thanks to the honey and gin, and a solid dose of lemon to zest things up. It’s not your froufrou kind of drink — expect a good buzz from the gin and that perfect lemon pucker — but it’s also light and bright to be classically summery.

Are you a gin lover? Then you should make this cucumber and mint gin fizz.
