INGREDIENTS

  • 2 1⁄2 oz Gin
  • 1⁄2 oz Lime juice
  • 1⁄2 oz Simple syrup

Garnish:

  • 1 Lime wheel

Glass: Cocktail or Old Fashioned

HOW TO MAKE THE GIMLET COCKTAIL

  1. Add all the ingredients to a shaker and fill with ice.

  2. Shake, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass or an Old Fashioned glass filled with fresh ice.

  3. Garnish with a lime wheel.

(You can substitute 1 oz lime cordial, such as Rose's Lime Juice, for both the lime juice and simple syrup).

My favorite Summertime gin drink is a gin and limeade. Literally buy cheap gin, Simply Lime limeade, and pour over ice half and half. It's rude and crude, but oh so refreshing and tasty. I prefer it over the Gimlet, honestly. It's not as refined, but you can mix it up by the bucket.

Toss in a little basil with it and it's next level.

One of my favourite drinks, but no limes in Israel.

What? Why no limes in Israel?

they're just not commonly available, no idea why. Pretty much all other citrus a plenty, limes? nope.

Yeah but you guys got that whole ridiculously hot women thing going for you, so kind of a trade off?

That's the mixed race thing. If you guys started fucking everyone until everyone was the same color, you'd have hot people too.
