The second Saturday of June is World Gin Day.

It has been designated as a day to celebrate and enjoy gin. Its refreshing floral notes are perfect for a summer weekend.

There are now many craft gins available to sample.

What’s your favourite gin-based cocktail?

And remember, when life gives you lemons, crack open the gin.
