This fresh-lime Gimlet uses gin, lime juice and sugar syrup in place of the lime cordial found in older recipes. The gin supplies juniper and botanical depth, while the fresh juice gives the drink a sharper citrus edge. Shaking chills and blends the mixture; straining through a fine sieve removes pulp and loose ice fragments. Serving over fresh ice in a rocks glass lets the tart, spirit-led drink soften gradually.
