Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Key Lime Vodka Gimlet.
Step 1
Begin by filling a cocktail glass with ice cubes and placing it in the freezer to chill, ensuring your drink stays refreshingly cold.
Step 2
In a cocktail shaker, combine two juicy lime wedges with a sugar cube, and muddle them together until the sugar dissolves and the lime releases its vibrant essence.
Step 3
Next, add a generous handful of ice to the shaker, followed by freshly squeezed Key lime juice and a splash of vodka.
Step 4
Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker feels delightfully frosty, signaling that your cocktail is perfectly mixed.
Step 5
Once chilled, remove the ice from your glass and give it a quick wipe with a paper towel to keep it pristine.
Step 6
For an added burst of flavor, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then strain the cocktail mixture into your beautifully prepared glass.
Step 7
Finally, garnish your creation with a twist of lime zest, adding a touch of elegance and a hint of freshness that will elevate your cocktail experience.
Step 8
Enjoy the refreshing taste of your expertly crafted drink!.
