Vodka Gimlet

[fchammer1]

The following vodka gimlet recipe is from the novels of Stuart Woods:

Pour six ounces of vodka from a 750 ml bottle; replace with six ounces Rose's Sweetened Lime Juice (available from nearly any grocery), add a small amount of water for ice crystals, shake twice and store in the freezer overnight. Pour into a martini glass and serve straight up. The glass will immediately frost over. With this recipe, no cocktail shaker is required and the cocktail is not watered down by melting ice. You may use even the cheapest vodka, and no one will ever know.

Gimlet. HMMM. Ain't that what you make gravy out of at Thanksgiving to serve with the turkey and dressing?

I believe that is a "Vodka. Gibson." With the onion

Great idea! One of my favorite drinks.

A Gibson is a Martini served with pearl onions instead of olives. That's the only difference.

Gimlets are made with Gin; Vodka Gimlets with Vodka; and Daiquiris with rum. They're all booze + lime in their simplest forms.

To correct the above I think its the Gibson served with the onions. The lime is correct and I think I'll go freeze some up now.

Double post, sorry.

Just so happens to be my cocktail of choice. Throw a wedge of fresh lime into the glass and you're styling.
