I am definitely a gin man (when I'm not drinking beer, that is). Hendricks has definitely become my go-to gin. I only learned of the joy that is the gimlet last year...and my life was made exponentially better when a friend pointed out that simple syrup can be easily made and stored. My gimlet recipe is usually 2 parts gin, .5 part lime juice and .5 part simple syrup. Of course, that's just for the first round. After that the gin tends to increase in volume..........
