Chill Your Glass:
Place a coupe or martini glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
Mix Ingredients:
In a cocktail shaker, add:
- 2 ½ ounces of Anchored Spirits Gin
- ½ ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice
- ½ ounce of simple syrup
Add Ice and Shake:
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds. The goal is to chill the drink thoroughly and slightly dilute it for balance.
Strain and Serve:
Empty the chilled glass and use a fine strainer to pour the drink into your prepared glass.
Garnish (Optional):
Add a thin lime wheel or twist of lime peel on the rim of the glass for a touch of elegance.
Tips —
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding slightly more or less simple syrup, depending on your taste.
Enjoy your Anchored Gimlet—a refreshing and perfectly balanced cocktail!
