Classic gimlet cocktail
This cocktail can be shaken hard or light — or even stirred. How you enjoy it is up to your taste.
A hard shake creates ice shards and crystals like a more frozen drink. Stirred is clear and chilled and perfect for serving up in a chilled cocktail glass. (And, of course, a light shake is in between.)
