In celebration of the beautiful weather we are having this weekend here in the Pacific Northwest, I think a classic gimlet is fitting. The history of this cocktail is undefined, although it does show up in a 1928 recipe of 2 parts gin to 1 part lime juice. Some recipes call for a 50/50 mix, while others reference using Rose’s Sweetened Lime Juice. This simple mixture of gin, lime juice, and simple syrup is perfect for a warm Spring evening, regardless of which ingredients you use. Another beauty in this classic cocktail is in switching up the gin – try it with Genever, Old Tom, Plymouth, or London Dry to see which suits your palate. Any way you make it, I am sure you will…
