I found this gimlet to be a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less simple syrup next time.

This gimlet was a bit too strong for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less gin next time.

This gimlet was very refreshing, but it didn't have much flavor. I think I would add more cucumber and mint next time.
