Gin cocktails exemplify great flavours with their floral notes and how well the Gin often pairs with the right ingredients. When you think of Pink Grapefruit Soda, your mind my go straight to the Tequila based cocktail the Paloma. But this tasty mixer is also a perfect match for the right Gins and maybe even your personal favourite.

For this recipe we recommend a London Dry Gin so you get the most of of that extra Juniper in it which makes for a more stand out flavour. The use of St Germain Elderflower liqueur is also a part of what makes this cocktail so great as it boots the floral sweet flavours of this cocktail. The Pink Grapefruit Soda is what gives this drink its crisp carbonation and added fruity tones making it an all round winner.

There's cocktails that are refreshing and then there's ones like the Sunset Static which just hit all the right tones for a drink that would fit in at any occasion. We know you wont regret having one of these in your hand the next time you are in need of a top cocktail.

Here is how it is made.
