A traditional gimlet is made with gin, but this version is made with vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup.

ice
2 ounces vodka
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon simple syrup (see note)
Fill a shaker with ice. Add vodka, lime juice and simple syrup. Shake well and strain into a highball glass over ice cubes.
Note: Simple syrup is made by combining 2 parts granulated sugar with 1 part water. Simmer, stirring, over low heat, until sugar is dissolved. Chill before using.
