Vodka Gimlets. They are a passion and favorite of mine... and in the past couple of years, I'd re-created my own version of this classic lime-and-vodka drink.
Quick 'n simple, vodka drinkers beware:
You'll need your typical bar tools:
Shaker
Muddler
Rock-hard pint glass
Strainer
Ingredients you will need:
Lotsa ice
A beautifully ripe lime
Stolichnaya Vanilla Vodka (or the cheaper stuff if you like a good hangover)
Roses's Lime Juice
Soda Water (or .... 7-up/Sprite)
A Glass
Small amount of simple syrup (or not, if you're watching calories)
Start:
Pint glass. Throw in some slices of the lime you have there. Throw in a few chunks of ice. Take your muddler and pound the shit out of that.
Add more ice to the rim. Count 1-2-3-4 on the Vanilla Stoli. Add 1-second count of Roses' Lime. Add 1/2 second count of simple syrup.
Take your martini shaker, pop it over the pint glass. Shake shake shake.
Get a martini glass or just a freakin' glass, either fill it with ice for a on-the-rox drink, or leave it alone and naked.
Pop the strainer over your shaker, pour the mixture into the glass.
Fill to the top with soda water/Sprite/7-Up.
Inhale. Repeat until drunk.
