1. Prepare the Coupe Glass:
Begin by chilling a coupe glass. This is typically done by placing it in the freezer for a short while before preparing the cocktail. A chilled glass ensures that your Devilfish Gimlet stays refreshingly cold.
2. Shake with Vigour:
In a cocktail shaker, combine 60 ml of Manly Spirits Australian Dry Gin, 30 ml of freshly squeezed lime juice, and 30 ml of simple syrup. The gin brings a complex depth of flavour, the lime juice adds a zesty tartness, and the simple syrup provides the perfect level of sweetness.
3. Add Ice and Shake:
Fill the shaker with ice cubes, securing the lid tightly. Shake the cocktail vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. The shaking not only chills the mixture but also thoroughly blends the ingredients, creating a harmonious fusion of flavours.
4. Double Strain into the Chilled Coupe Glass:
Using a fine-mesh strainer, double strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe glass. Double straining helps ensure that no ice shards or pulp make their way into the final drink, resulting in a smooth and pristine presentation.
5. Garnish with a Lime Wheel:
For an elegant finishing touch, garnish your Devilfish Gimlet with a lime wheel. The lime wheel not only adds a pop of colour but also offers a fresh citrus aroma that enhances the drinking experience.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Your Devilfish Gimlet is now ready to be enjoyed. The combination of Manly Spirits Australian Dry Gin, lime juice, and simple syrup creates a beautifully balanced cocktail that is both bright and slightly sweet. Sip slowly, savoring the refreshing and well-crafted flavours.
