Ep. 83: Gimme dat Gimlet – The Gimlet Cocktail

Turns out, this drink doesn’t suck! Uncle Brad had strong feelings in the past, but now is a big fan, and you will be too. Jules brings a late summer inspired Gimlet. Stick around for the history on the Gimlet – shocker, the British Navy had something to do with it. Shout out to @hellqueencocktails for the inspiration to mention the cheese slicer trick to peel your citrus, perfect every time! See her clip here.     Gimlet recipe  Glass: Coupe  Garnish: Lime peel  Directions & Ingredients  Shaker tin add:  2.5 oz Plymouth Gin  0.5 oz Fresh lime juice  0.5 oz Simple syrup  Lime wheel (this is called a “royal shake”)  Ice   Shake for 20 – 30 seconds  Double strain into your chilled coupe glass  Express lime peel over the drink so the oils fall onto the surface of the cocktail.
