Thought I'd share my favorite drink recipe with anyone and everyone.
For those of you who sometimes go to a bar in the mood for a new drink and refuse to give in to a Jack and Coke, the Tequila Gimlet is a great option. That is, if you like tequila. I was introduced to the Gimlet by a bartender who offered the drink in response to my request for 'the strongest drink I could get for my last 12 bucks' at The Standard Downtown. Unlike the margarita, a gimlet will preserve the taste of the tequila. In case you forget what you're drinking, take a sip and it says, "Dont get it twisted, you're drinking alcohol." I love it. To be fair though, the pinch of lime tones down the bite of the tequila enough to make it a pleasant drink for people who aren't the biggest fans of cien porciento agave. All in all, its definitely worth trying next time you're in an adventurous mood. Trust, knock back two or three and you'll be doing the Macarena to Soulja Boy and Walkin it Out to The Ketchup Song!
Recipe:
2 oz Tequila Reposado (avoid dark or sipping tequila)
1 oz lemon juice
1/4 oz Rose's lime juice
1 lime wedge
Fill a shaker with ice, mix all ingredients, shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.
