Simple. Classic. Impossible to mess up—unless you’re using bad gin.
The Gimlet is what happens when you strip a cocktail down to its absolute essentials and let quality ingredients do the talking. Earl Grey-infused Juniper Jones Gin, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. That’s it. That’s the whole show. And when you’re working with 100% Colorado grain-to-glass gin, that’s all you need.
The bergamot notes from the Earl Grey infusion add an unexpected twist to this British naval classic, playing beautifully with bright lime and just enough sweetness to keep things balanced. It’s crisp, it’s clean, and it’s exactly what you want when you’re not in the mood for anything complicated—just something that tastes damn good.
Shaken until properly chilled and diluted, strained into a coupe or martini glass, and garnished with a lime wheel. No fuss, no frills, just a perfectly executed cocktail that’s been impressing drinkers since the 1950s.
