What is "gimlet"?

Gimlet is a classic cocktail that is made with gin and lime juice, and sometimes sweetened with simple syrup. The drink is typically stirred with ice and then strained into a chilled cocktail glass, and it is often garnished with a slice of lime or a twist of lime peel. Gimlet is known for its refreshing and tart taste, with the gin providing a botanical and herbal flavor and the lime juice adding a tangy and citrusy twist. The simple syrup adds a touch of sweetness to the cocktail, creating a well-balanced and delicious drink. Gimlet can be customized with various types of gin and lime juice, and it can also be served with a splash of soda water or a dash of bitters for added depth of flavor.
