A Gimlet is with Gin, Gin and a bit of Lime Juice which over time became sweetened lime juice.
It has in recent years become a variable like Martini's. Rum and Vodka both are now part of the Gimlet family.
These are not my favorite type of cocktail, but a Gimlet is usually in the neighborhood of 1 and a half to two oz of Gin to one with a sweetened lime juice. Variables now are what liquor you use and how sweet you make it.
To each their own here. My work tonight on this was more based on what is similar to Rose's Lime Juice because I like fresh ingredients and not a chemical taste. So I went with 2 parts Bombay Sapphire and 1/2 part fresh lime juice and 1/2 part home made Triple Sec. You could use many Orange type liquors to sweeten or just use lime and sugar. Or, roses lime juice. T
I pimp DK Gems, The Palms, Lal's, La Chingona, Dany's at Cupecoy and Friars Bay Beach Club !
