My current favorite gin is a Douglas Fir infused gin made in Washington State. Not spamming so I won't mention the brand, but well worth seeking out. Adds an unexpected chill to any gin drink.

This isn't a gimlet. Gimlets don't use fresh lime juice.

Tanqueray Rangpur probably would make a good base for this, as it has a hint of lime built in.
