The Hump Day Pick Me Up: Cocktail of the Week!

That's right everybody, hump day has hit Australia with a vengeance this week with miserable weather setting in all along the east coast. So from now on, every hump day I'll be bringing you all a pick me up cocktail of the week, this week we have the humble classic:

The Gimlet


This refreshing Gin based cocktail is my hubby's absolute all time favourite. Served on the rocks in a classic tumbler, this one will tickle your tastebuds and have you reminiscing of summer in no time! Named after the small, sharp, drilling tool used for making pilot holes in wood, Gimlet is an appropriate name for this sharp cocktail with a fresh twist.

Glass Type: Tumbler

Alcoholic Contents:
  • 2 Parts Gin (I recommend Bombay Sapphire)
Non-Alcoholic Contents:
  • 1 Part Lime Juice Cordial
Mix it:
This ones simple as can be: pour over ice to serve on the rocks with a swizzle stick

Garnish:
Top it off with a fresh lime wedge.



If you aren't one for Gin, this one also works great with a good quality Vodka, my recommendation is Belvedere or Grey Goose.


Tried it? Twisted it? Loved it? Hated it?
Share it!

Keep Smiling,
Jo
