How to Roll a Cocktail - Gimlet Recipe | Mixology Technique & Tips

gin

🥗Healthier: vodka

💰Cheaper: white rum

Vodka offers a smoother taste while rum provides a different flavor profile.

Gather a Boston shaker, julep strainer, peeler knife, and a lime.

Pour 2 shots (50 ml) of gin into the smaller half of the Boston shaker.

Add 1 shot (25 ml) of Roses lime cordial to the shaker.

Fill the shaker with ice.

Place the julep strainer on top of the shaker and secure it with your index finger.

Roll the drink by pouring it back and forth through the ice to chill it without chipping the ice too much.

Continue rolling until the tin feels cold in your hand, indicating the drink is ready.

Pour the mixture into a chilled martini glass that has been placed in the freezer.

Express some lime over the edge of the glass for garnish.
