Ingredients:

• 4 ounces of your favorite gin

• 1-2 limes

• simple syrup*

• ice

Tools:

• shaker

• coupe or martini glass

Instructions:

1. Measure the following into a shaker:

   • 4 ounces of dry gin

   • 2 ounces of freshly squeezed lime juice

   • 1.5 ounces of simple syrup (Note: I do not like my gimlets to be too sweet - if you do, up this to 2 ounces)

2. Add ice to the shaker and shake for about 1-2 minutes.

3. Pour the gimlets into 2 coupes (or martini glasses or whatever you have on hand!). Bonus points if you chilled your glass.

4. Slice a lime into lime wheels and add as garnish.

5. Serve immediately. Cheers!

*To make simple syrup, heat 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar on the stove over low heat. Continue to stir until the sugar has fully dissolved. Allow to chill.
