Moonriver Bar #14 - Gimli's Gimlet

9/10/2020

0 Comments

 
A Gimlet is something I never would have found had I not dedicated some measure of my being to the study of mixology and freelance bartending.  If you've been reading me for a while, you probably have some idea why.
  There are some ingredients that I can use easily across many facets of my repertoire, and this is because I understand them more intimately through personal experience, experimentation, and requests.  So that's Rum, Whiskey, Vodka, and Tequila.  
No Gin.
Never Gin.
I've had one request for Gin.  That's it.  (and, if that taste-tester is any indication, I did REALLY WELL with it)

The Classic Gimlet

So the Gimlet, wink wink, uses Gin as its Core.  If that doesn't float for you, Vodka can also take that place.  After that, we just sweeten the pot with Simple Syrup and Lime.  Try this out:

2 oz Gin (or Vodka)
3/4 oz Simple Syrup
3/4 oz Lime juice
Serve over ice and enjoy.

Now, there are some snobs out there who will INSIST on the idea that this is emphatically NOT a Gimlet, and for those people...fine.  Omit the Lime and Simple Syrup for 1.5 oz of Rose's Lime Cordial (chalk full of high fructose corn syrup).
Both are pretty yummy, and I'm going to break it anyway, so pick your poison; I don't really care.

Picture

A Dwarven Gimlet?

Dwarves love Ale and Whiskey, and this will be neither, though some tones will be represented.  The lime and the gin complement one another splendidly, so the additions are minute and serve only to slightly darken the effect.

2 oz Gin
3/4 oz Triple Sec
3/4 oz Elderflower Liqueur
1/2 oz Lime juice
1/2 oz Drambuie
3-5 dashes of Aromatic Bitters
A splash of Lime Tonic Water

Pour this sucker over ice and enjoy.


Sip responsibly.
