Friday Cocktail - Adkov Telmig

This may be semi-common knowledge, but I just learned that Ed Wood, of Plan 9 From Outer Space infamy, often used Adkov Telmig as a pseudonym. If you haven't yet noticed, Adkov Telmig is Vodka Gimlet backwards and that is our Friday Cocktail.

There appears to be lots of minor variations on the recipe. All start with vodka 1.5 to 2 oz. Then Rose's Lime Juice, or real lime juice .5 to 1oz. If using real lime juice some variations use powdered sugar, regular sugar, or simple syrup teaspoon or splash. I doubt you can go wrong, so try enough variations until you can't remember which was best and you have to try again next weekend.

The classic gimlet would use gin instead of vodka and there's no need to call it a Gin Gimlet, it's just a Gimlet.

Cheers
