Summer cocktail? Nailed it.

Now, I love a margarita - the salty sour tang is just perfection in a glass, but I am not a big tequila drinker. If you love the idea of a margarita but don't like tequila, then this will most definitely tick the box.
It was also National Gin Day last Saturday, which means it is officially Gin Week so, basically, you have to drink one - it's the law.

All you need is some gin (I used Gordon's Cucumber for that extra fresh hit, but any good quality gin would work), some good grapefruit juice (golden, not pink if possible, pink is a little too sweet) and a fresh lime.
Add 200ml of grapefruit juice to 50ml of gin and squeeze some lime juice in. Mix well. That's it! No mixology courses required here!
Salt the rim of a highball or martini glass by moistening it (the leftover lime is good for this) and rolling it in salt and add some crushed or flaked ice to the bottom of the glass. Pour the cocktail over the ice and garnish with a slice of lime.
Enjoy whilst lounging indolently in the summer sun.
You could even freeze this and crush it for a very grown up, very refreshing slushy!
