The Gin Daisy is a crisp, citrus-forward gin cocktail with a floral twist — light, refreshing, and made to be sipped slowly in the sun.
Whether you’re hosting brunch, lounging poolside, or just craving something zesty, this one’s a go-to spring cocktail. Plus, it’s super easy to make and even prettier to serve.
