Rose Gimlet
The gimlet is traditionally a cocktail made with gin & lime juice. A description in the 1953 Raymond Chandler novel The Long Goodbye stated that âa real gimlet is half gin and half Roseâs lime juice cordial and nothing else.â However, modern tastes are less sweet, and generally provide for at least two parts gin to one part of lime + other non-alcoholic elements. This rose rendition is perfect for Valentineâs Day! đšđ

In a clean shaker filled with ice, add all ingredients & shake vigorously until combined. Double strain into vintage glassware serve on a sliver platter with dried rose petals. Tasting Tip: If you like a little more citrus, bump it up to 1oz. This is delicious too đÂ
