AwesomeDrinks Bartender Starter Kit https://shop.awesomedrinks.com/products/home-bartender-starter-kit/ The Garden gimlet is a sour cocktail, probably more so than most with 3/4 oz lime juice to 2 oz gin it should be fairly well balanced. However, the 1/2 oz Honey leaves the sour side up and the basil and cucumber do not help bring up any sweetness. This is a sour cocktail for those that enjoy more veggie-forward flavors with a lime bite. The use of gin is fairly standard for such a drink but many may want to add a bit more honey syrup. While honey does give a sharper sweetness it has a hard time competing with the lime. Garden Gimlet - 2 oz gin - ¾ oz fresh lime juice - ½ oz honey syrup - 3-4 fresh basil or mint leaves - 1-2 slices of cucumber 0:00 Introduction 1:07 Recipe Breakdown 5:27 So you think you can garnish, bro? 6:40 The Money Shot 6:55 Tasting Notes #earthday #cocktail #gin ------ Become a Youtube CMC Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm4_NTvhixXU3YFetu8z-aA/join Checkout our recipe E-Books: http://homecocktailmenu.com Subscribe to CMC Now: http://bit.ly/NKFUkE Drink Responsibly.
