Gimlet (Schumann's recipe)
Schumann uses fresh citrus sourness to balance rich lime cordial but opts for lighter lemon juice rather than lime as is classic with a Gimlet

A big sour and wonderfully balanced. Do it with Morgenthaler's lime cordial recipe and you will be dancing. We have yet to observe a bottle of Oude Genever find its way South of the equator to within grasping distance of us downunder. So this, rather than our good host's, recipe is the one we happily go with.

We wonder if a drop or two of grapefruit bitters might not go astray...next time.
