Lime Cordial is a sweet tart key ingredient for Gimlets. This will replace the corn syrup filled Roses Sweetened Lime that you can find at any liquor store.

Lime Cordial Recipe (Employee’s Only) 

• 4 cups fresh lime juice
• 2.5 cups agave nectar
• 40 kaffir lime leaves

Add all ingredients to a pot and bring to a boil. I also added the lime zest for an added…zest.

After you bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and keep there for 35 minutes or it has turned into a syrup.

Separate the solids

Allow the mixture to cool and bottle. I made some great custom labels to add a unique feel. These make great gifts. They should keep for a few weeks.

Gimlet

• 2 oz gin
• 3/4 oz lime cordial
• lime wheel
• Build in a iced rocks glass and garnish with lime

Budmo!

It is the Christmas spirit for some green and red cocktails? I’m not sure if that is right but I am stating it here. Anywho…a gimlet sounded delicious. Also, I made the lime cordial that supposedly goes bad in 7 days. Crap. Who wants a gimlet?
