French Gimlet

Like a Daiquiri to rum, a gin gimlet is just a gin sour: gin, lime juice, simple syrup. A French Gimlet eliminates the sweetness from simple syrup and adds some of it back with St. Germain, which is sweet in a similar way that Cointreau is sweet. Additionally, the St. Germain adds floral notes that are characteristic of St. Germain. It's a really great drink. It's sweet but nicely tangy and floral from both the St. Germain and the gin.
