A little Gin for the After Holiday Slump

Trying a new gin this week, this Mermaid Gin is an English gin that calls for a simple cocktail. A simple gin gimlet is a perfect Summer cocktail. It's simple, a little tart, and ready for sipping.

Ready for the Ocean

Gin Gimlet

Ingredients

2 oz Gin

1 oz Lime juice

1/2 oz Simple Syrup

Recipe: In a cocktail shaker with ice, pour all ingredients. Shake until cold (about fifteen seconds) until the shaker is cold to the touch. Strain into a chilled coupe glass.

Let me be real here, this gin is not for the faint of heart. It's strong and powerful. It will kick you in the face. If you like gin and the strong botanicals, then it's a good one.
