Richmond Gimlet
The Richmond Gimlet is a beautiful version of the Gimlet Cocktail sometimes served at the famous Le Lion Bar in Hamburg, Germany. It is refreshing with a touch of gin, and it's mixed with some mint leaves. Do you want to give it more flavor? Just add some lemon verbena while shaking it. A perfect short drink for the summer afternoon to enjoy with friends.
