Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
If fresh lime juice is being used, always fine-strain to remove pulp and avoid cloudiness or unwanted texture in the finished drink.
Preparation Tip 2
For an authentic Gimlet cocktail, preserved lime cordial must be used rather than fresh juice, as this gives a smoother mouthfeel and clear sweet flavour profile.
