A Gimlet is a classic cocktail made with gin, lime juice, and sugar. The traditional garnish for a Gimlet is a lime wheel or slice. Some recipes suggest using a cucumber slice as a garnish. Edible flowers can also be used as a final flourish. To make a Gimlet, fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add gin, lime juice, and simple syrup, and shake well until the outside of the shaker is very cold. Strain the mixture into a chilled glass and garnish with a lime wheel or slice.
