Ingredients

Simple Syrup

6 tablespoon sugar
6 tablespoon water

Lime Vodka Gimlet Cocktail

6 ounces vodka lime vodka if you have it is wonderful
2 ounce fresh lime juice
2 ounce simple syrup
1 cup crushed ice
4 fresh lime slices

Instructions

Simple Syrup

Add the sugar and water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.

Lime Vodka Gimlet Cocktail

To a cocktail shaker or rocks glass, add 6 oz vodka, 2 oz fresh lime juice, and 3 oz of simple syrup.
Top rocks glasses with ice or strain from the cocktail shaker into ice-filled rocks glasses or chilled coupes. Garnish with lime twists or fresh lime wheels and serve.

Notes

This makes enough simple syrup for 2 drinks. If you'll be making more drinks, make a larger batch. 2cups sugar to 2 cups water or more is handy to have on hand. Simply boil equal parts sugar and water. Store any extra syrup covered, in the fridge.
