What are the best cocktails made with gin for a warm summer day?

Cocktail Colin says:

For a warm summer day, the top choice would be a cocktail that combines the refreshing qualities of lemon juice, gin, and soda water, sweetened with a hint of sugar syrup. Served cold in a highball glass, it's perfect for sipping under the sun. Another great option embraces the classic combination of gin and tonic water, offering a straightforward, refreshing experience also served in a highball glass. Both of these options have received high ratings, indicating their popularity and suitability for a summer day refreshment.
