Ingredients
- 1 ounce gin
- 1 ounce elderflower liqueur
- 1 ounce lime juice
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add gin, elderflower liqueur and lime juice.
- Shake vigorously, then strain into a coupe or martini glass.
- Garnish with a lime twist, lime wheel or lime wedge.
Notes
- Use a quality gin in your gimlets for the best flavor. Experiment with different brands until you find your favorite.
- Use fresh lime juice because it will have the best flavor. Bottled lime juice tends to be more sour than fresh lime juice.
- Shake the ingredients well to get them ice-cold. Since it’s served neat, getting the drink cold this way is essential. It also helps to invigorate the ingredients to yield a smooth, refreshing drink.
