Vodka/Gin Gimlet Up; Vodka/Gin Gimlet on the Rocks

To make a Vodka Gimlet Up:

Fill Martini Glass with ice, add water, and let chill while you are mixing your Gimlet in the mixing tin. In mixing tin with ice, pour 1 1/2 oz Vodka and 3/4 oz Rose's Lime Juice. Shake (or Stir with bar spoon). Pour out ice & water from Martini Glass. Strain contents of mixing tin into the chilled Martini Glass. Garnish with a Lime. Serve.

To make a Vodka Gimlet on the Rocks:

In a Rocks Glass with ice, pour 1 oz Vodka and 1/2 oz Rose's Lime Juice. Garnish with a Lime. Serve.

Bartender's Note: To make a Gin Gimlet (Up or on the Rocks), substitute Gin for Vodka in each of the above drink recipes. Also, as mentioned in the Bartender's Note for a Gin Gibson, Gin tends to bruise if shaken or stirred. So, it is best to allow the Gin to chill in the mixing tin for a minute or two while gently swirling the mixing tin in your hand rather than shaking or stirring the drink. Then strain into chilled Martini Glass, garnish with a lime and serve.
