Raymond Chandler's Gin Gimlet

Manhattan bartender Del Pedro (Grange Hall, Pegu Club) shows the step-by-step making of a Raymond Chandler Gin Gimlet for Edible Manhattan, using a recipe inspired by a passage in Chandler's 1953 book "The Long Goodbye," a testament to classic bar culture. Contrary to popular ideas about authenticity, it's made with a mix of both Rose's Lime and real lime juice, which helps give it a vibrant green color noted by Chandler in the book. Pedro also uses Tanqueray gin, as its flavor pairs nicely with limes.

Erm, Plymouth is higher proof than Tanqueray. 41.2% vs. 40%. Love the glasses!

I started drinking gin gimlets because of Raymond Chandler and he explains how to make them: gin, Roses lime juice and a splash of water. That's it. Chanlder was an alcoholic and didn't spend drinking time by rolling limes around.

I guess I'm going to have to learn lip reading, I didn't hear a word u said. I don't see who u are looking at ? Your hands are moving a mile a minute , u crossed your hands for about 1/10 second, looks like u are having withdraw pain, man cut the video off and go get a fix.

I have never seen a bartender say so many words while moving his lips so little. AWESOME. Tanqueray gin is the best gin on the face of the planet. Rock on!!!
