A vodka gimlet is a variation on the classic gin gimlet with a smoother flavor! It's got just three ingredients: vodka, lime and syrup.

(4 tablespoons) vodka

(2 tablespoons) lime juice

(1/2 tablespoon) simple syrup

For the garnish: lime wedge

Add vodka, lime juice, and syrup to a cocktail shaker. Fill with a handful of ice and shake until cold.

Strain the drink into a coupe or martini glass and top with a splash of soda water, if desired. Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel and serve.

This Gimlet recipe was so yummy! I made it with organic vodka and maple syrup instead of simple syrup. I think I prefer the maple syrup version. It seems to create a smoother flavor profile.

The Vodka Gimlet is a classic cocktail that has been around since the early 20th century. It is believed to have originated in the British Navy as a way to ward off scurvy, with the lime juice providing a dose of Vitamin C. This refreshing and tart cocktail has a simple yet balanced flavor profile, with the vodka providing a neutral base and the combination of lime juice, lemon juice, and lime cordial adding a citrus zing. The sugar syrup helps to balance out the tartness and adds a touch of sweetness. The cocktail is typically served chilled and can be garnished with a lime wedge for an extra punch of flavor. It has become a popular choice for those looking for a light and refreshing drink with a bit of a kick.

<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Make the sage syrup: In a small pot over medium-high heat, stir together the sugar, sage, and ½ cup water. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the sugar has melted and the sage leaves have wilted, 5–7 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside at room temperature until fully cooled. Strain and use the syrup immediately, or bottle and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Make the cocktail: To a cocktail shaker, add the vodka, sage syrup, lime juice, and bitters, then add enough ice to nearly fill the shaker. Shake vigorously until very cold 12–15 seconds, then double strain into a chilled coupe glass. If desired, garnish with a dehydrated lime slice, a fresh sage leaf, and a few dots of honey, then serve.</span>
