Gimlet

I drink gin year ‘round because it’s damned delicious and don’t recall asking you a damn thing.

Anyhow, Gimlets are one of my favorite “easy” drinks and now you can make ‘em just like me.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 oz gin

1/2 oz lime juice, freshly squeezed

1/2 oz simple syrup

1 mL Orange Sipping Bitters (Or for a fun seasonal taste, Pine Overcoat Bitters)

Garnish with lime round/wedge

How the hell:

Add the gin, lime juice and simple syrup to a shaker with ice and shake the ever loving hell out of it.

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass or an rocks glass filled with fresh ice.

Garnish with a lime round
