Gimlet Cocktail
Description
This Gimlet Cocktail features an even blend of gin, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup shaken over ice to chill and integrate the flavors.

After shaking, the mixture is strained into a chilled coupe glass for an elegant presentation. A lime wheel garnish enhances the aroma and visual appeal of the drink.
