 Welcome to Cocktails 101 by Drinks Made Easy, our ongoing series where we teach you how to make some of the simple classic cocktails at home. If this is your first video watching with us, you can either click on the link below or at the end of the video to see some of the other drinks that we've already introduced. Now today we're taking a look at a classic gin cocktail that's part of the daiquiri family. To build your gin gimlet, you'll start by adding two ounces of London dry gin. Now if you have someone who really doesn't like strong alcohol at all, you can always go with a softer gin, something like a hen drinks. You're going to add three quarters of an ounce of fresh lime juice and three quarters of an ounce of simple syrup. Now if you have a guest who doesn't like drinks particularly sweet or likes really punchy drinks, you can always dial back on the lime juice and the simple syrup. Likewise if you have someone who doesn't like the taste of alcohol at all or likes really sweet drinks, add a little bit more simple syrup. Cap that off into a shaker tin full of ice and give it a good shake. Now if you have a fine strainer, cocktails like the gimlet or any daiquiri, a nice touch is to double strain it so that you don't have any little bits of ice floating on top which will give it a bit of a crunchy aspect. And there you have the classic gin gimlet. Thanks so much for watching and please remember to always drink responsibly because everybody likes to make friends but no one likes to make them in a prison shower. We're going to need to do another one of that. That was perfect. That wasn't.
