Gin (and most clear liquors) are the quite forgiving when used in a cocktail.

I discovered a version of a gin mojito at a bar that I now make at home...

2oz gin
1oz simple syrup
Cucumber slices
Lime
Mint
Club soda

In a shaker, muddle mint with gin, then add lime wedge and one or two cucumber slices and muddle a little bit more. Add simple syrup and ice. Shake vigorously. Pour into tall glass. Add another lime wedge and cucumber slice. Top with club soda.

Mrs. Swede loves elderflower liquor, and we're trying to incorporate it into gin cocktails.

We've also made mint juleps using gin (the original liquor used for the cocktail) instead of bourbon.
