FWIW I don't have much of a sweet tooth and gimlets have been my favorite cocktail for decades.
My recipe: 1 part fresh lime juice, 1 part Rose's (the best of both worlds), and 2 parts gin. The gin varies based on my mood and availability. I sub in white rum for a daiquiri.
I do something similar with sour mix: 1 part fresh lime juice, 1 part Rose's, and 2 parts fresh lemon juice. Delightful with bourbon.
And muddled mint makes just about anything better.
Happy Cocktails.
