Ingredients
- Herb Simple Syrup
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon tarragon leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon thyme
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- Gimlet
- 2 ounces gin
- 1 ounce lime juice
- ¾ ounce herb simple syrup
- 2 dashes celery bitters
Optional Ingredients
- Fried tarragon leaves (optional)
Directions
- Make the herb simple syrup: Heat the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves. Remove the pan from the heat and add to it the herbs and lemon zest. Transfer the syrup to a bowl. Place it in the fridge, uncovered, until it the syrup cools. Once the syrup has cooled, pass it through a fine strainer. It will hold for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
- Make the gimlet: Add all ingredients to a shaker. Fill the shaker completely with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with fried tarragon leaves (optional). BONUS TIP: You'll definitely have some herb simple syrup leftover. You can drizzle it in lemonade, or toss it with fresh berries and serve over ice cream.
