A couple nights ago, we enjoyed a derivation/bastardization/admixture of the NYTimes Live Basil Gimlet recipe and Ecco's Cilantro Gimlet recipe. After some early June Gloom, we're starting to get true summer days in L.A., and a cilantro-based cocktail seemed like the perfect way to celebrate.
Here's how 'twas done:
Cilantro Gimlet
6-7 cilantro sprigs
2 oz. gin
1/2 oz. lime juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup
2 slices lime
Ice
Muddle the lime slices, lime juice and cilantro sprigs in a shaker. Add the remaining ingredients. Shake up and strain the liquid into a glass (pre-filled with more ice if you'd like), removing the cilantro/lime pieces. Garnish with another slice of lime.
