Gin and tonics are always a great choice. These light and simple cocktails are a perfect option for sipping on a warm night while chatting with friends and family if you are looking to lighten the mood and spark conversation.
While gin and tonics are typically only made with lime, tonic water, and gin, Spaniards like to add their own twist to this cocktail, which is hugely popular in their country. Do you want to learn how to make a Spanish gin and tonic? It’s as easy as this!
