So my New Year’s resolution was to post again and you are all talking about gimlets! I love a gimlet, and I actually loved Rose’s Lime! That is how I taught many an open bartender how to make a gimlet, because they never knew what I wanted when I ordered it. They often gave me a ginourmous glass full, rather than a cocktail. Now I don’t know what to do when avoiding sugar because even tonic water has metric tons! Gin plus club soda plus a squeeze of lime?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Hi, Sophia!
I dislike gin, so I have nothing to offer here.

Obviously I'm not just tossing tonic in 'em. Any suggestions are welcome.
If you have more of a floral-forward gin, like Hendricks, a gin fizz is nice.

I was making my own lime cordial for a while there because of all the gimlet discussion here back when. Gin spritz, Sophia? Ooh, you could try that True Lime stuff - it’s so good in Diet Coke, might be good with gin

Now, where can I get True Lime that isn’t Amazon? Because I suddenly feel like I should be sprinkling some on or in everything I consume

And the answer appears to be…Staples? Really? Huh.
