Gimlet Cocktail
One of the best ways to welcome warmer weather is by sipping a crisp cocktail on a mild evening, and a Gimlet is a perfect way to ring in the spring season! What is a Gimlet? Well, it’s a lightly sweet, citrusy, and bubbly drink that’s simple to prepare and completely delicious! It only takes a few ingredients to mix up a Gimlet, which is made of two parts gin, one part lime cordial, a pour of club soda, and a lime rind for garnishing. You can use store-bought lime cordial, but to make that citrus flavor really pop, I like making my own! All you need to do is mix lime juice and simple syrup, and your Gimlet will taste so fresh, it’ll be worth the little bit of extra effort — I promise!Pin this Cocktail Recipe for Later!

Gimlets are one of my all time favorite cocktails! Will definitely need to try with the blackberry simple syrup- an ideal combination!!
I haven’t had gin in ages…you know how it is when you overdo a liquor… These drinks look so good, I need to see if I can fall back in love with gin.
I definitely get that, gin is one of my favorites because I think it’s so versatile, I hope you find a love for it again too!
