How to mix the perfect gimlet cocktail

Step 1: Prepare your utensils

Make sure your shaker and copper cup are ready. Fill the copper cup with ice to pre-chill it.

Step 2: Mix the ingredients

Pour the gin, lime juice and sugar syrup into the shaker then cover it - and shake everything vigorously!

Step 3: Serve your gimlet

Take your pre-cooled copper cup and strain the mixture into it. The ice-cold metal of the cup will immediately absorb the coldness of the cocktail.

Step 4: Decorate your cocktail

Add a slice of lime as decoration. It gives your cocktail an extra splash of color and reminds you of the fresh aroma you're about to enjoy.

Step 5: Enjoy your gimlet

Take a moment to admire the beauty of your cocktail before you take your first sip.

Feel the coolness of the copper mug in your hand and enjoy the delicious interplay of sour lime juice and tart gin.

The Gimlet is a true classic cocktail, and serving it in a copper mug makes it even better. The cup keeps your cocktail cooler for longer and contributes to a more intense taste experience.

Now you know how to make a Gimlet cocktail. It's time to put your bartending skills to the test and enjoy this refreshing drink.

Cheers!

Experiment with other gimlet variations

Once you've mastered the classic gimlet, don't hesitate to experiment with different variations. Perhaps a hint of mint? Or how about a splash of grapefruit juice for a bitter-sweet note?

The special thing about this recipe is the benefit of the copper cup: copper has the unique ability to absorb the coldness of the drink quickly and distribute it evenly, making the gimlet more refreshing and invigorating. In addition, the copper cup adds a touch of elegance to the Gimlet and makes the cocktail enjoyment a special experience.

Now you're ready to mix and enjoy the perfect Gimlet cocktail. The recipe is simple, the taste is refreshing and the copper cup takes it all to the next level.

Don't forget to savor the moment, because that's what makes a good cocktail.
