This vodka gimlet recipe makes a low-effort, zesty cocktail that's less botanical and more neutral than the classic gin gimlet. The choice of lime cordial or fresh lime juice is up to you.

Ingredients

Ice cubes
2 ounces vodka
1 ounce lime juice
1 teaspoon simple syrup
Lime slices

Directions

Fill a shaker three-fourths full with ice. Add the vodka, lime juice and simple syrup; cover and shake for 10-15 seconds or until condensation forms on outside of shaker. Strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with lime.
