Bartender's Tip
Braulio's mountain-pine bitterness needs the extra half ounce of syrup. If you switch to sweeter Montenegro, cut the syrup to ¼ oz or the drink turns flabby.
A Little History
The gimlet began as a British naval scurvy remedy — gin cut with lime cordial. The amaro version is a modern craft-bar variation, using the liqueur's pine and gentian notes to echo the gin's juniper instead of fighting it.
