Gin is the starring ingredient in this recipe. Which gin you choose to use is up to you but you should definitely go with your favorite.
Some people may assume that since this is a cocktail, the gin doesn’t really matter, that the other ingredients like club soda, cucumber, mint, and sugar will make up for anything. But it won’t, the gin is important.
