This is a gin drink that tastes remarkably not-all-that-ginny. Very refreshing on a warm day.

Folks who hang out in bars insist that a Gimlet can only be made with Rose’s Lime Juice. I’ve never been thrilled with that, preferring something made with fresh lime and sugar.

Ingredients

• 2 oz. gin
• ¾ oz. lime juice
• ¾ oz. simple syrup

Notes:

• That works out to a 8:3:3 ratio.  You could also go 2-2/3 oz. gin and then 1 oz of the other two ingredients.
• Mr. Boston calls for 1½ oz. gin, 1 oz. lime juice, 1 tsp. powdered sugar, shaken and strained.
