How To Make The Gimlet | Cocktail Deconstruction

Today we’re going to show you how to make the gimlet, and we’re going to create the classic gimlet using a few different methods, one with Rose’s, one with a DIY lime cordial, and the standard juice-based gimlet.

We have both our base recipe and liquor.com’s recipe which only adds a half ounce of gin to it, so it may be a bit more boozy. Here is ours: https://recipe.awesomedrinks.com/recipe/gin-gimlet/

We create one with Rose’s Lime Cordial because that’s what the traditional “classic” recipe would have used, but we’re guessing it was before High Fructose Corn Syrup was “a thing” and they had to use real cane sugar.
