Notes
Ingredient Notes + Substitutions:
Citrus Vodka: Citrus vodka makes for an ultra smooth gimlet. You can use plain vodka instead but the drink will taste different.
Unsweetened Cranberry Juice: Unsweetened cranberry juice is best for this cocktail as it lets you control the sweetness of the drink. You can use cranberry cocktail but will need to adjust the simple syrup in the recipe so it isn't too sweet.
Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice is best for cocktails. Save the bottled juice for another use.
Tips:
✘ Start with cold ingredients. Cold drinks are the best drinks. When you start with cold ingredients you don't need to use as much ice to chill the cocktail.
✘ Fresh Lime Juice. Freshly squeezed lime juice is a must for the best cocktails.
✘ Use a high quality vodka. When you have a short ingredient list, it's important to use a high-quality vodka. Leave the rail vodka for another drink with more ingredients.
