Richmond Gimlet

Another Gin Sour, this time courtesy of cocktail legend Jeffrey Morgenthaler. This drink is exactly the same as the Southside but with lime in place of lemon.

Ingredients:

• 2oz (60ml) Gin
• 1oz (30ml) Simple Syrup
• 1oz (30ml) Lime Juic
• 5 Mint leaves 
• Garnish - Mint Leaf
• Glass - Cocktail

Instructions:

1. Chill the glass the drink is being served in.
2. Add all ingredients, except for 1 mint leaf, into to a mixing tin and shake hard over ice
3. Double-strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Double straining is important here as there are a lot of smashed mint pieces to remove.
4. Garnish with the remaining mint leaf.

Notes

I haven't tried this drink yet but I love the Southside, so it has promise!
