Gimlet Recipe

Gimlet Ingredients:
Gin – 2 ½ ounces
Simple Syrup – ½ ounce
Lime juice – ½ ounce
Ice

Directions:

1. Pour ice into a shaker.
2. Pour all the ingredients into the shaker.
3. Shake well.
4. Strain into a cocktail glass.
5. Garnish with a lime wheel.
6. Enjoy

Notes:
It tastes better in a chilled cocktail glass. Chill the glass for a few minutes before mixing.
If you are not a gin fan, you can make a vodka gimlet instead. Same rules; 2 ½ ounces of vodka.
Feel free to use 2 ounces of Gin instead if the drink is too strong.

For fans of Phillip Marlowe (The detective books by Raymond Chandler), don’t bother following Chandler’s recipe for a gimlet unless you want your face to pucker. In the book, A Long Goodbye, Marlowe chats about a friend and says this: “We sat in a corner of the bar at Victor’s and drank gimlets. ‘They don’t know how to make them here,’ he said. ‘What they call a gimlet is just some lime or lemon juice and gin with a dash of sugar and bitters. A real gimlet is half gin and half Rose’s Lime Juice and nothing else. It beats martinis hollow.” You should follow my recipe instead.

I am usually not a gin fan. I rarely order a gin drink from a bar. If I were to order a gin drink, a Gimlet would be the drink. When I have gin drinkers over my house, this is what I serve them and I’ll enjoy a glass as well.

Hey, Super John! Cheers.
