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.
