Gimlet Recipe
Elevated Mixers Gimlet
The Gimlet is a classic cocktail that has been enjoyed for centuries. It was first mentioned in the novel The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler, in which the main character describes the cocktail as being far superior to a martini. This solidified the Gimlet's place in cocktail history.
The origins of the Gimlet are believed to date back to the late 18th century, when English sailors used the drink to combat vitamin deficiency, commonly known as scurvy. The drink was made with gin, lime juice, and sugar - essentially a gin-based daiquiri.
And now, with the help of Elevated Mixers Margarita mix, you can enjoy this refreshing drink without all the prep work. Simply measure out 1.5 ounces of the Margarita mix and pour it into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Add 1.5 ounces of your preferred spirit - gin or vodka works well - and shake until thoroughly chilled. Strain the mixture into a martini glass or coupe, and garnish with a lime wheel or twist.
The Elevated Mixers Gimlet is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy this classic cocktail without having to worry about juicing limes or making simple syrup. And because our Margarita mix is already perfectly balanced, you can be sure that your Gimlet will be perfect every time.
