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.
