RECIPE VARIATIONS: Feel free to adjust the simple syrup between 0.5 oz and 0.75 oz depending on how sweet or tart you prefer your gimlet.
TIP FROM TOM: After adding all the liquid ingredients and ice into the shaker, give the lid or top section a quick tap to properly seal it before shaking to prevent leaks.
