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.
They're fresh, fancy, fast, and they're a favourite of wild women in the wild!
Enjoy!
