Summer Solstice Gin Cocktail

Recipe by PotteryBarn on YouTubeAdded 8 November 2026.

10 minutes to prep. A bright, refreshing summer cocktail that blends strawberry‑infused gin with citrus, sweet simple syrup, and a splash of club soda. Aromatic bitters add depth, while a sugarcane fan and strawberry garnish give it a tropical, pool‑side vibe.

Free. No account needed.

Method

  1. Halve 24 fresh strawberries and place them in a sealable container with Tanqueray No. Ten gin; seal and let infuse for 24 hours.

  2. Strain the infused gin to remove the strawberries.

  3. Add 0.75 oz simple syrup, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, and a couple of dashes of aromatic bitters to a shaker.

  4. Pour 1.25 oz of the strawberry‑infused gin into the shaker and add ice.

  5. Shake gently to chill, then stir in club soda gently in the shaker to preserve carbonation.

  6. Strain the mixture into a glass over fresh ice.

  7. Garnish with a fan‑cut sugarcane stalk (or two) and a fresh strawberry.
