Get A Good Dose of Vitamin C With Di's Delicious Pink Gimlets
By The Wild Women On Top Team
A delicious, fresh cocktail that's got a good dose of vitamin C? It sounds too good to be true. But these yummy and easy pink gimlets, created by our Chief Adventure Chick Di, are exactly that.
Whether you're trying to impress a lover, a friend, a colleague, or a family member - these pink gimlets are the ultimate crowd pleaser. It's a less alcoholic take on the classic gimlet, so you'll get extra fruit juice and reduce the hangover.
These gimlets are fresh, fancy, fast, and they're a favourite in the Wild Women office.
Enjoy!
Ingredients (makes one):
- 30mL gin (1 shot)
