The Gin Gimlet Straight Up
  • Serves 1 large drink
Author Notes

I love a nice cool lime drink on a hot summer evening. I am a self admitted gin hound too. So, The Gin Gimlet is a perfect foil for a scortcher of a day. It has minimal ingredients...only three. It can be made with vodka, but why? It is most important that all the ingredients be very cold. This is my method to ensure a cold and frosty drink. Nunc est bibendum!!! —dymnyno

Poolside, there are plastic martini glasses that I have seen in many grocery stores to use if you are afraid of breaking a glass.
