A gimlet, an old fashioned cocktail that a lot of bartenders have never even heard of before. Its a fun litmus test of the knowledge and skill of the bartender, and really tasty and refreshing if made right.
Its just gin and lime syrup, about a 2 or 3 to 1 ratio, shaken with with lots of ice and served neat.
Hail my gimlet brother! I've gotten back into these in a major way over the last couple of years for the exact same reasons.
That sounds delightful!
Isn't this more of a litmus test of whether or not they have lime cordial in stock?
Should be made with lime juice and simple syrup. Both ingredients every bar will have.
You can make it to order with just lime juice and sugar. Never had a complaint.
I think its pretty standard stock in a bar, I've never had someone not have it. There are other drinks with lime flavor too.
