A personal favorite, the Gimlet has long been appreciated as a simply complex Martini. The unique sweetness of Rose's Lime Juice is traditionally used over fresh squeezed juice, an uncommon factor as we often hear that fresh is always better in any drink. However, a superior (fresher) Gimlet can be formed by making your own lime cordial. I also like to wipe the rim with a lime wedge, gently squeeze it over the drink and drop it in. You can also substitute the gin for vodka for a Vodka Gimlet.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz gin
- 1 3/4 oz Rose's lime juice or other lime cordial
Preparation:
- Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass with ice cubes.
- Stir well.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
