Gimlet
One of the best known cocktails but it has no clear history. In print it can be found as a cocktail served up and as a highball with soda. The below is my favorite version of the cocktail.
Ingredients
2 oz London Dry Gin
1/2 oz Lime Juice
1/4 oz Simple Syrup
Garnish
Lime wedge
Glassware
5 oz stem Cocktail Glass
Assembly
Fill shaker tin with ice. Add lime juice to jigger and add simple syrup to the jigger then put contents in shaker. Lastly add the gin to shaker and stir vigorously until combined. Strain into cocktail glass.
