Gimlet
Traditionally, the earliest variations of the Gimlet are equal parts of gin and fresh lime juice. However, with the increasing popularity of vodka in the 90s, we were introduced to the Gin Gimlet’s popular cousin: the Vodka Gimlet. There are many variations and additions to this cocktail today (mint and cucumber are common), but this simple cocktail has its time and place in my heart!
