the Gimlet
Gin & lime, me hearties!
Descended from the English navy’s days of sail, the Gimlet is a simple combination of gin and lime. The classic version is made with Rose’s lime cordial, but we like a combination of Rose’s and fresh lime juice. (We include a rose cordial recipe below if you’d rather make your own.)
2 oz Rhodium Gin
three quarters oz Rose’s lime cordial*
three quarters oz fresh lime juice
Combine ingredients, shake with ice, strain into martini glass. Garnish with lime peel or slice.
*To make your own lime cordial, add fresh lime zest to warm 1:1 simple syrup, infuse, strain, bottle.
