Chill Your Glass: Begin by chilling a cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the drink.

Mix the Drink:

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

Pour the 2 ounces of gin, 1 ½ ounces of St Germain, and ½ ounce of lime juice over the ice.

Shake:

Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously. This not only chills the mixture but also helps to dilute it slightly, balancing the flavors.

Prepare the Glass:

Empty the chilled cocktail glass of its ice water.

Strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass. Ensure a smooth pour to keep the cocktail crisp and clear.

Garnish and Serve:

Slice a thin wedge from the lime.

Make a small cut in the middle and place it on the rim of the glass as a garnish.

Serve immediately and enjoy the floral, citrusy notes of your French Gimlet.
