How to Make the Best Summery Peach Basil Gin Floats
This Summery Peach Basil Gin Float is the ultimate poolside refreshment—a sophisticated yet simple cocktail that combines frozen peach sorbet with herbaceous gin and fresh basil. It’s the perfect balance of creamy, fruity, and botanical flavors that make it ideal for hot summer days.
What makes this float special is how the sorbet slowly melts into the gin and soda, creating a silky, refreshing drink that evolves with every sip. The muddled basil adds an herbaceous note that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the peach sorbet, while the gin brings complexity and depth to the combination.
This recipe is incredibly versatile—you can substitute tonic water for a slightly more sophisticated version, or stick with club soda for a lighter, more refreshing take. Serve in chilled glasses and garnish generously with fresh basil and peach slices for an Instagram-worthy summer cocktail that’s sure to impress your guests.
