Orgeat Gimlet

This riff on a gimlet is so unbelievably delicious, especially with the addition of Lillet Blanc (an aromatized wine). Because Lillet is fortified with a blend of citrus liqueurs, it pairs beautifully with fresh lemon juice, while the nuttiness of the orgeat smooths it out.

Ingredients:

  • ½ oz orgeat syrup

  • ¾ oz lemon juice

  • 1 dash aromatic bitters

  • ½ oz Lillet Blanc

  • 1½ oz gin

  • garnish: lemon twist

Directions:

Combine all ingredients into a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously for approximately thirty seconds, until chilled. Double strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
