The classic gimlet recipe doesn't call for much: just gin, lime juice, and simple syrup. Here we're using a combination of sweet and tart berries in the form of Blueberry Lemon Basil and Cranberry Rose Mixicles to chill the gin and add flavor and color.
The recipe makes two cocktails — perfect for happy hour at home with a friend, or after a really long day. Bottoms up!
