French Gimlet

French Gimlet

This French Gimlet recipe calls for gin, St Germain elderflower liqueur, and fresh lime juice. It's strong, sweet, and perfectly tart. This quick and easy cocktail is a riff on a classic gimlet. Gimlets are made with gin, lime juice, and simple syrup. The French gimlet adds a sweet, floral twist using the elderflower liqueur in place of the simple syrup. It's light, bright, and perfectly balanced.
