Jeffrey Morgenthaler’s The Richmond Gimlet
Posted on September 23rd, 2008
Ok, I know it’s pretty much past time for summer drinks, but damn this is good: The Richmond Gimlet (recipe) from Jeffrey Morgenthaler.
“…the Richmond Gimlet, one of the best summer drinks ever.. Its soft flavors imbued with fresh mint mingling with the herbaceousness of gin and the tartness of lime have made this drink a Eugene classic for many years now.”
Shake vigorously with the mint leaves in the shaker along with the other ingredients (I used Junipero gin, not No. 10 out of personal and admittedly questionable taste). What goes in the glass in the end has small ice-pulverized particles of mint… very, very tasty.
