  • First created to help prevent scurvy on English Naval ships as officers weren't taking their rations of lime for it's vitamin C. This recipe calls for fresh lime juice - there are many references in cocktail books that call for Rose's Lime Juice as an alternative (such as The Bartender's Bible by Gary Regan amzn.to/1M8ojk9)
    INGREDIENTS
    * 60mL Aviation Gin (bit.ly/1Le7bJm)
    * 20-30mL Fresh Lime Juice
    * 15mL Sugar Syrup (1:1)
    DIRECTIONS
    1. Fill a Boston glass with ice
    2. Add the Aviation Gin, fresh lime juice and sugar syrup
    3. Shake and stain into a chilled coupe glass

    I've just recently discovered the Gimlet after watching yet another re-run of Mad Men - and oh boy am I addicted to this now! I've not been a fan of Gin before but I'm absolutely loving it !

    I had just poured myself a gimlet before switching on this video. I made a stock sugar syrup from water, granulated sugar and a little acacia honey, to which I added the grated zest and juice of a lime. I brought this to the boil, simmered it for five minutes then strained it into a jug to let it cool. Once it was cool I placed the jug into the freezer for a couple of hours until it turned into an icy slush. I then poured the lime slush into a measure of Tanqueray 43% gin from the bottle I keep in the freezer. It is utterly sumptuous.

    Try it with Malfy Blood orange gin . I ran out of aviation and used this out of necessity. Great twist on this taste

    This is a a Gin Sour, gimlet does not have simple syrup

    • @jashugg
      @jashugg 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      A gimlet uses lime cordial which is effectively lime juice, sugar and water, so it’s fair to call Steve’s cocktail a gimlet. A gin sour differs in that the lime juice is replaced with lemon juice. They are all delicious, my current favourite is gin, lime juice, maple syrup and egg white, and I still call it a gimlet.

    • @Asimo44
      @Asimo44 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I believe any cocktail with spirit, citrus, and sugar is a sour. A gimlet is a sour made with gin, lime, and sugar.

    I am known as being an extremely laid back big tipper. But there is one way to have me send my drink back and leave NO tip regardless of how many subsequent successful drinks I'm served: build me a gimlet using fresh lime juice instead of the original lime cordial.! i am giving this video a thumbs down and I'm unsubscribing from the channel..
