Gin gets labeled as a “summer drink” way too often. And sure, it’s refreshing on a hot day — but that’s just the beginning. From citrus-forward spring serves to spiced winter cocktails, gin has the versatility to show up all year long. Let’s break down why gin isn’t seasonal — and how The Old G works every month of the year.
In spring, gin plays well with bright botanicals. Think garden cocktails with herbs like basil or rosemary, plus crisp cucumber or lemon. It’s the season to explore gin’s lighter side and layer it with fresh ingredients. The Old G’s citrus and cardamom notes shine right here.
Summer is where gin’s reputation lives. G&Ts on the patio, spritzes by the pool, and simple soda mixes with lime. When the heat hits, gin offers refreshment without the weight of sugary rum or heavy whiskey. Pair The Old G with soda water, mint, or grapefruit for a clean, cold pour.
Autumn cocktails lean into warmth and depth. Gin may not seem obvious, but add apple, cinnamon, or even a touch of ginger — and it transforms. The Old G’s botanical base gives it flexibility to pair with seasonal spices without losing its smoothness.
Winter gin cocktails? Absolutely. Use deeper mixers like cranberry, rosemary, or even mulled flavors. Try The Old G in a hot gin toddy or stirred with vermouth for a cold-weather martini. Its clean, strong finish adds elegance to heavier holiday flavors.
Gin doesn’t need a season. What it needs is quality — and intention. That’s what The Old G delivers year-round. Whether you’re chilling on the porch, hosting friends, or cozying up inside, there’s a gin cocktail that fits the mood.
So when’s the best time of year to drink gin? Any time. With a versatile, balanced spirit like The Old G, you don’t have to wait for summer to pour something good. Keep it cold, warm it up, mix it light, or sip it neat — the season doesn’t matter. The quality does.
As the cold air envelops us in its chilly embrace, the quest for warmth often leads us to the comfort of our homes and the company of friends and family. What better way to elevate these gatherings than with a selection of winter gin cocktails that promise to warm the soul and impress your guests?
Not sure what you’re supposed to taste in gin? Here’s how to sip like a pro — and why The Old G hits different from the first pour.
