With gin taking snazzy bars, cool rooftops and sun-drenched gardens by storm, HELLO! Online has tried and tested the nation's gins to come up with our top pick for the summer.

From the smooth and delicate balance of juniper and refreshing notes of citrus in Martin Miller's and a refreshing slice of cucumber in a Hendricks G&T to the light and floral flavours of Bloom... consider the summer tipples served.

We've even got recipes for you to rustle up your own gin and tonic with fruity flavours such as the traditional wedge of lime and the more adventurous grapefruit and strawberries. How about trying a new take on a Bloody Mary, with Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin?
