Fresh Lime Gimlets

Yields Makes 6 cocktails Prep Time 10 mins
Sure, you can make a gimlet with jarred lime juice (some people say that's the only way to make a gimlet), but we love the tart, mouth-puckering power of fresh lime. Prep Time: 10 minutes. Notes: To make simple syrup: Bring 1 cup each water and sugar to a boil. It keeps, covered and chilled, up to 1 month.

Ingredients

 1 1/2 cups vodka or gin
 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
 3/4 cup simple syrup (see Notes)
  Ice
 6 strips lime zest (optional)
