If you’re ready to elevate your cocktail game, here’s how to make the perfect Gimlet.

Ingredients:

2 oz Gin (a quality London dry gin works best).

3/4 oz Fresh lime juice.

1/2 oz Simple syrup (adjust to taste).

Lime wheel or wedge, for garnish.

Instructions:

Chill your glass: Begin by chilling a coupe or martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice and setting it aside while you prepare your drink.

Shake the ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, lime juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds, until well-chilled.

Strain and serve: Discard the ice from your glass and strain the mixture into the chilled glass.

Garnish and enjoy: Finish by garnishing with a lime wheel or wedge. Sip and savour the harmonious balance of tartness, sweetness, and botanicals.

Whether you’re a gin enthusiast or just starting to explore the world of cocktails, the Gimlet is a timeless choice. Its crisp flavours and easy preparation make it a standout, perfect for any occasion. Cheers to sophistication in a glass!
