Gimlet comes together as a classic gin cocktail with fresh lime juice and simple syrup for a clean, sweet-and-sour flavour. You squeeze the limes and strain the juice through a fine sieve. You measure 60 ml gin, 22 ml lime juice, and 15 ml syrup into a shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 12 to 15 seconds. You strain it into an ice-cold glass, garnish with a lime wheel, and serve it right away as an elegant aperitif.

Preparation

1
Chill four cocktail glasses in the freezer or fill them with ice for a few minutes, a classic gimlet needs an ice-cold glass.

Measure out exactly 60 ml gin, 22 ml fresh lime juice, and 15 ml simple syrup, the right ratio of ingredients is the foundation of a good cocktail.

Shaking

Fill the shaker three-quarters full with ice so the cocktail chills quickly and evenly.
