- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 lemons, cut into wedges
- 1 mango, cut into 1/2" wedges

- 1 (4" piece) ginger, peeled, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled, quartered

- Combine gin, lemon juice, and sugar in a pitcher or large measuring glass and stir to dissolve sugar; refrigerate gin mixture if not making drinks right away.
- Gin mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
- When ready to serve, arrange lemon wedges, mango, cucumber, mint sprigs, ginger, raspberries, and strawberries on a platter or in separate bowls and set out alongside gin mixture, club soda, and a bucket of ice.
- For each cocktail, muddle ingredients of your choice (mix and match!) in a Collins glass. Fill with ice, then add 1/4 cup gin mixture and top off with club soda.
