Ingredients 

  • 2 oz Vodka
  • 1 oz Lime Juice
  • 1 oz Simple Syrup

Instructions 

  • Add vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds, until the shaker turns cold.
  • Strain drink into a cocktail or coupe glass and garnish with a little lime zest, mint, or a freshly cut lime wheel.

Notes

Pro Tips
  • Use fresh ingredients! Specifically the limes - bottle lime juice just doesn't compare to freshly squeezed lime juice.
  • Serve with ice-cold vodka. If you really want the ultimate vodka gimlet, serving ice cold make this already delicious shaken cocktail even better.
  • Be sure to use a high quality vodka. Since this drink only consists of three ingredients, you really want a good vodka that's smooth and distilled a few times for a nice crisp cocktail.
  • No simple syrup? You can use agave, honey, or maple syrup as alternative in the exact amounts listed in the recipe card.
