Simple 3-Ingredient Classic Gin Gimlet Cocktail
The gin gimlet is one of the great classic cocktails, and only takes a few ingredients...easy, refreshing, and delicious!
Servings: 1 cocktail
Ingredients
- 2 ounces of good gin I love a London Dry for this
- .75 ounce of fresh-squeezed lime juice
- .75 ounce of simple syrup
- Optional garnish: lime twist or wheel
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the gin, lime juice, and simple syrup.
- Shake for at least 10 seconds (I prefer 15-20) and then strain into a chilled coupe glass.
- If desired, garnish with a lime twist or wheel.
Notes
- I recommend using a good gin (I like London Dry) since there are only a few ingredients and so the gin really shines through
