Gimlet, gin cocktail

There are more ways to make a Gimlet than this recipe. Probably the only thing really true about this classic is that everybody seems to vary the proportions, the spirit (vodka for gin), and the amount of lime juice. Our offering is basic and should be viewed as a starting point for a classic sharp, tart tipple.
