Gimlet in a coupe with a lime wheel, pale cocktail, soft warm background.

Flavor profile

Juniper-forward, lime cordial shimmer, razor finish — textbook with personality.

Our take

House cordial is the whole story: enough sugar to balance the gin’s heat, enough acid to snap shut on the finish. It is closer to a grown-up limeade than a candy bomb.

We would happily pair this with a dozen oysters or drink it solo on the patio — either way it stays crisp through the last sip.

Ingredients

  • London dry gin
  • House lime cordial
  • Lime wheel

Pairing recommendations

  • Oysters on the half shell — citrus and brine amplify each other.
  • Herb salad with goat cheese — botanicals meet green snap.
