We had a Ginger Gimlet on our cocktail menu here at the distillery this summer, and one of our frequent visitors, named Karin, loved that cocktail. One time, she noticed we had some blueberries on hand and asked us to add a few to the drink. Turns out, it was a great addition – on future visits, Karin always asked us to add blueberries to her cocktail. Eventually, we decided to just put it on our menu in Karin’s honor, and it remains one of our most popular cocktails here.
Karin’s Gimlet
2 oz Distiller’s Gin No. 6
1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
¾ oz Ginger Simple Syrup
5 Fresh Blueberries
In a shaker, muddle blueberries & syrup. Add gin, lime juice, and shake well. Fine strain (to remove blueberry pulp) into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a skewer of fresh blueberries.
Enjoy! And thanks Karin!
