- 1½ oz light rum
- 1½ oz Lime Cordial
This drink is just the Gimlet, but uses rum instead of gin. The gin version is a lot better because it’s dryer and not as sweet. Rum has that hint of sweetness to it that is just a little too much when pairing it with 1.5 ounces of a cordial. The recipe also calls for a light rum, but it might do better with a different type of rum, such as an aged rum for more depth. I feel like all I am tasting in this drink is the lime cordial. I give this one a 6/10. The drink wasn’t that bad, it’s just far inferior to the other options when using lime cordial, with the exception of the abomination that is the Bayou Julep.
