Ingredients
Directions
Fill ice into cocktail glass and place in the freezer.
Place 2 lime wedges and the sugar cube into a cocktail shaker and mash well with a cocktail muddler. Pour in ice, lime juice, and vodka, cover, and shake until the outside of the shaker has frosted.
Remove ice from cocktail glass; wipe dry with a paper towel. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass. Strain the contents into the chilled glass and garnish with a twist of lime zest.
Cook's Notes:
You can juice the limes in a juicer or by hand.
Do not use a sweetened lime juice! Your gimlet will go from punchy and tart to sickeningly sweet in no time.
A white sugar cube can be substituted for the raw sugar cube. However, granulated sugar will not work.
