10 Gin Drinks That Are Perfect for Winter

The Moscow Mule is a common drink often made with vodka, but I prefer this gin version because it’s much more floral on the taste palette.

It’s a refreshing take on the traditional drink. This recipe includes Far North Spirits Solveig Anna’s Garden Gin which is a light blue colored gin.

This adds flair to the cocktail. It also has notes of dill, angelica, and lemon. 

One of my favorite winter gin cocktails is this gin fizz.

Pomegranate is a fall and winter fruit that perfectly complements many dishes and drinks because of its sweet and punchy taste.

Top with pomegranate seeds for a little extra touch.

A gin and tonic are an elegant, easy-to-make drink that is perfect for sipping on any occasion.

If you prefer a floral-forward gin and tonic, try making this rosemary gin and tonic cocktail for your next gathering.

It contains basic ingredients but is just as enjoyable as the other fruit-forward drinks on our list. If you require a light cocktail, this might be the one for you.

An elegant and tasty winter gin cocktail is the Winter Mint Martini.

Try out this mint martini for your next party or gathering. It is a great complement to chocolate, so serve it alongside your chocolate dessert for a decadent finisher to the meal.

It is made with vanilla ice cream, gin, and mint, so you know the flavors are going to be bright and sweet.

This is a great recipe to use if you want to bring forward the citrus flavor in gin.

The French 75 is an elegant cocktail, but it does not take a professional mixologist to be able to whip it up.

The ingredients are simple and few, but the addition of champagne elevates it beyond your simple gin cocktail.

When I’m in the mood for something elegant, I serve it in a champagne flute.

A Bee’s Knees is a prohibition-era cocktail that is refreshing and slightly sweet.

It is the perfect complement to winter weather and can be paired with herbs like thyme to bring out the full flavor of the gin if you like.

Serve in a coupe glass for the full 1920s effect.
