Yes, I was old-school before it was chic to be old-school.
This cocktail is simple, which makes it top-shelf in my cocktail book.
A bit of lime juice, sugar and the most important ingredient, a nice vodka. And, by nice I mean nice vodka, it doesn't have to top-of-the-line. Just good quality and smooth.
Here is the official recipe:
1 1/2 ounces vodka.
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice (must be fresh).
1 teaspoon sugar (extra fine, if possible).
Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake well. Strain.
Serve in your favorite cocktail glass (garnish the glass rim with extra-fine sugar, if desired), garnish with a bit of lime and that's as ol-school as you are going to get!

I love new ways to drink vodka. It may be an old school drink but it is new to me. I think I know the first drink I am having in a few days. That's right. A bloody beer! LOL!! I can't imagine a better thought than a nice gimlet overlooking the Mediterranean..
