Cocktail: Gin Gimlet
"We sat in a corner of the bar at Victor's and drank gimlets. "They don't know how to make them here,' he said. 'What they call a gimlet is just some lime or lemon juice and gin with a dash of sugar and bitters. A real gimlet is half gin and half Rose's Lime Juice and nothing else. It beats martinis hollow.'"
-- From The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler (1953)
This is how Gorj. likes his. I go Gin 2 to 1 against the Roses Lime Juice...that's if i'm making one for you. in mine you'll find slightly less Roses.

I'm glad you boys still respect a classic cocktail like a gin gimlet. Some things are timeless.
