Gimlets are cocktails traditionally made of 2 parts gin and 1 part lime juice — and nothing more, according to Raymond Chandler. Of course, we love to make our booze habits a bit more sophisticated.
This blood orange and mint gimlet recipe contains the traditional ingredients and more. Citrus flavors are cut through the gin with sweetness and tartness, while mint adds complexity to the cocktail.
Use your fresh harvest for a particularly delightful cocktail and a great conversation starter.
