Ingredients

- Lime Wheel (for garnish)

Notes
The Gin Gimlet was traditionally made with Rose’s lime juice, a preserved, sweetened lime juice. Fresh lime juice provides a more vibrant, zesty flavour.
I find that the simplicity of the recipe makes it an excellent foundation for experimentation, so feel free to adjust the sweetness or tartness to suit your taste.
