Gin can feel a little fancy at first, but it does not have to be complicated. These simple gin cocktails are fresh, easy and perfect when you want something that feels special without making your kitchen look like a cocktail bar.

A Hugo Spritz is the kind of drink that feels instantly pretty: fresh mint, elderflower, lime and cold bubbles in one easy glass. It is light, floral and perfect when you want something refreshing that still feels a little special.
