Menai Oyster Gimlet
Menai Oyster Gimlet
Sharp, clean and distinctly coastal, the Menai Oyster Gimlet combines our Menai Oyster Gin with fresh lime and just enough sweetness to balance the citrus, while keeping the gin's smooth maritime character firmly at the centre of the drink.
Ingredients
- 50ml Menai Oyster Gin
- 25ml fresh lime juice
- 15ml sugar syrup
- Plenty of ice, for shaking
- Lime wheel or twist, to garnish
How to Make a Menai Oyster Gimlet
Chill a coupe or Nick & Nora glass while you prepare the cocktail.
Add the Menai Oyster Gin, fresh lime juice and sugar syrup to a cocktail shaker.
Fill the shaker generously with ice and shake well until thoroughly chilled.
Fine-strain into the chilled glass.
Garnish simply with a thin lime wheel or a twist of fresh lime peel and serve immediately.
The Perfect Serve
Menai Oyster Gin
Menai Oyster Gin is our distinctive Welsh coastal gin, created in collaboration with Menai Oysters and distilled in small batches here on Ynys Môn.
Fresh Menai oysters contribute a subtle maritime character and exceptionally smooth, rounded mouthfeel rather than an overt seafood flavour. Classic juniper and bright citrus keep the gin crisp and balanced.
A Gimlet is an ideal way to showcase that character. Fresh lime sharpens the citrus notes already present in the gin, while a restrained measure of sugar balances the acidity without hiding the subtle coastal finish.
