A classic gimlet gets an upgrade with a refreshing hint of grapefruit in this delicious summer cocktail.
We’ve taken the traditional gimlet flavors of gin, lime and simple syrup and infused one of our favorite summer ingredients: Grapefruit—for an added layer of sweetness and tang. If you have simple syrup lying around, feel free to use it, but we like the taste and convenience of agave syrup. Serve over ice or in a coupe glass if you’re feeling extra fancy.
