.5oz Uncle Val's Botanical Gin
.75oz Lime Cordial or Rose's Lime Juice
Shake over ice and double strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lime wheel.
You can make a gimlet with just London dry gin, but the Uncle Val's adds a floral depth that takes the gimlet to the next level. A lime cordial like Rose's is not negotiable; recipes that call for simple syrup and fresh lime juice result in a cocktail that is too sweet, sharp and sour.
