Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
Gimlet Cocktail
- PREP TIME 4 mins
- TOTAL TIME 4 mins
- SERVING 1 serving
Ingredients
- 3/4 ounce simple syrup
- Zest from one fresh lime (optional)
- 2 ounces gin (Plymouth Dry Gin or Tanqueray)
- 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
Method
Prep simple syrup:
Make a simple syrup with a 1:1 sugar and hot water ratio (see more here), steeping the lime zest in it for 10 minutes in a nonreactive container. Fine-strain this after 10 minutes, and refrigerate what you do not use today.
Combine ingredients:
Combine the gin, simple syrup, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake for about 30 seconds, or until a frost forms on the shaker.
Strain and serve:
Double strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass. Garnish with a lime wheel.
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
