The Vodka Gimlet is a drink of simplicity and strength, demanding respect with its cold and potent character. Originating in the late 18th century as a remedy for scurvy among British sailors, the Gimlet traditionally features gin. However, the vodka boom of the 1970s and '80s introduced a refreshing twist to this classic cocktail.

Strain:

Notes
To craft the perfect Vodka Gimlet, ensure your vodka is ice-cold. Store a bottle in the freezer for the occasion. Fresh-squeezed lime juice and simple syrup offer a superior and well-balanced flavor profile compared to using lime cordial. With just three ingredients, the Vodka Gimlet is a breeze to assemble, making it a delightful choice for any occasion.
