There are a number of ways to stock a bar: you can go out and buy one of everything , you can go out and buy what you need for your one or two favorite cocktails , or you can wait and hope that a well stocked bar magically appears in your living room . If you've tended toward the last method, your bar might be looking a little bleak. But if you've got just one bottle, you can make drinks.
Today, we'll focus on the cocktails you can make with a bottle of gin. You don't need liqueurs, vermouth, or any other spirits. The rest of the ingredients can be gathered at your local grocery store or farmers' market—this list should be handy as warm-weather produce starts appearing again, but there's plenty to get you started even if you can still see snow out your window.
Some of these cocktails call for a specific type of gin—the cucumbery, floral Hendrick's, for example, or robustly juniper-flavored London Dry—and those gins will make delicious versions of these drinks. But the world won't end if you swap 'em for whatever you have on hand. Let's get to drinking! We've left out the gin and tonic—you guys can figure out how to make that one, right?You might be a frequent G&T sipper, but it's easy to forget about that highball's cousin, the Gin Rickey. This refreshing drink which was invented to combat a brutal heatwave in Washington D.C. is made with gin, fresh lime juice, and chilled club soda instead of tonic.
