Ep. 83: Gimme dat Gimlet – The Gimlet Cocktail
Description
Turns out, this drink doesn’t suck! Uncle Brad had strong feelings in the past, but now is a big fan, and you will be too. Jules brings a late summer inspired Gimlet. Stick around for the history on the Gimlet – shocker, the British Navy had something to do with it. Shout out to @hellqueencocktails for the inspiration to mention the cheese slicer trick to peel your citrus, perfect every time! See her clip here.

Express lime peel over the drink so the oils fall onto the surface of the cocktail. Rub the rim of the glass with the peel and run the peel up and down the stem of the glass.
Add garnish – cut a small slit into the side of your peel and rest it on the glass
