Gimlet (cocktail) A similar lime juice cocktail using rum instead of vodka or gin is the daiquiri. David A. Embury gave a gimlet recipe (called a Gin Sour) in "The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks" (3rd Ed., 1958), calling for an 8:2:1 gin/lime (or lemon) juice/simple syrup ratio plus garnish. Eric Felten essentially repeated this in his "How's Your Drink" column in "The Wall Street Journal" Weekend Edition of August 4, 2006: William L. Hamilton gave this recipe in his "Shaken and Stirred" column in "The New York Times" on September 15, 2002: A gimlet served at the Fifty Seven Fifty Seven
