The lime juice cuts into the gin enough to make it go down smooth.<br /><br />That being said, if you did want something else to cut into the gin and lime juice flavors, simple syrup would do the trick.<br /><br />I would do up to 1/2 ounce of simple syrup. That would mellow the cocktail out a bit, but still give it that gimlet flavor. =)Cocktail Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714171386272532861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244904475300513717.post-51576743168710803772017-10-26T15:41:58.071-07:002017-10-26T15:41:58.071-07:00I have fresh lime juice.

It gave my cocktails too much of a limey sweet taste.Cocktail Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714171386272532861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244904475300513717.post-12371194579189645252012-08-13T14:33:36.457-07:002012-08-13T14:33:36.457-07:00Ah, yes, Bombay Sapphire :) Now that's a gin t...Ah, yes, Bombay Sapphire :) Now that's a gin to change your mind about gin :) Do you always use sweetened lime juice when you call for lime juice? I tend to use fresh limes for my drinks, and this one could probably use a little simple syrup with fresh lime juice.Jannoreply@blogger.com
