hi I'm Josh Dubois today we're making vodka drinks and right now I'm going to show you how to make a vodka gimlet now there you can do this drink with both gin and vodka and it's pretty much the same either way today we're going to be doing it with vodka and what you're going to do is you're going to be serving this drink in either a rocks glass or you can also serve it in a chilled martini glass it depends on who's ordering of what you think you might want to serve it in but what we're gonna do is we're going to take ice and fill up our mixing glass with ice and then you're gonna put two ounces of vodka in this drink now this drink is pretty much straight vodka when it comes down to it that's the only actual liquid that you're gonna be putting in the drink so you're going to put a four count of vodka in or a shot glass is worth that's two ounces and next you're going to be putting in one ounce of lime juice so you're going to fill up this thing about half way with lime juice put that in next this is optional you can or you can just you can choose to withhold from this step if you like but just one tablespoon of powdered sugar and what you should probably do is you should probably ask your client or your friend or whoever you're making for if they actually want the powdered sugar in there cuz some people really want it and there some people don't next take your shaker tin put it over top takes away you're gonna make sure that that powdered sugar gets nice and dissolved into the drink so they're not chewing up the crunchy powdered sugar next you take your glass of choice either your rocks glass or your martini glass so strain the drink it's nice and shake it's got a nice color to it and you get it right there into your rocks glass or your glass of choice and you're gonna garnish this with a lime and serve and that's how you make a vodka gimlet next we're going to show you how to make a mind eraser to watch the other segments in this video series for how-to videos on almost any other topic visit monkey-see dot-com
