Cocktail
Gimlet
Revised classic, but nothing beats the very easy to make, homemade fresh lime cordial.
Ingredients
| The Herbalist Gin | 60 ml |
| Fresh lime cordial | 15 ml |
| Fresh lime juice | 1 big bar spoon |
Material
To make a Freezer Martini cocktail, you will need bar tools like a mixing glass, jigger, strainer, citrus juicer, bar spoon and ice cubes for measuring, mixing, and serving the ingredients. A citrus peeler or zester for garnish. A freezer or ice for glass chilling. A coupette or Gimlet glass.
Method
- Stir with ice cubes. Fine strain. Serve in a chilled coupette. Garnish with lime zest. It can be also served on the rocks, garnished with a lime wedge.
Homemade lime cordial:
- To prepare the fresh lime cordial for 2 drinks, simply take 50g of caster sugar, with the freshly grated zest of 1 lime, and the juice of the lime (should be 30ml-ish).
- Gently warm it up over a small heat, but don’t bring it to boil. Keep stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Once all the sugar has dissolved, turn off the heat, and let it cool down.
- Fine strain and bottle, store in a fridge.
