Lemon Ginger Gimlets are a pretty, healthier drink perfect for New Year's Eve, Christmas, or any winter cocktail hour. Easy to make!
It’s Friday, and it’s 5 o’clock somewhere – can we take a moment and cheers to that? These lemon ginger gimlets are the final recipe that I contributed to our Meals for Me & You feature on Anthropologie’s blog. I’m calling them “Gimlets with a Girlfriend” – so go grab your bff and mix these up tonight. Plus, lemon + ginger = “healthy drinking.”
A lot has been going on this week so, if it’s alright with you, I’m going to speak in bullet points today. Here are links to some random bits that I found delicious and interesting:
– This is crazy, but we’ve somehow been nominated for this Better Homes and Gardens Food Blog Award – if you have a sec, it would mean the world to me if you clicked over and voted!
– Yummy cauliflower rice recipes – those sushi rolls are calling my name!
– our book on Design Sponge’s Instagram! Thanks Grace!!!!
– The 10 Commandments of Taking Instagram Food Pics. Especially #5, ha.
– This springy cocktail is my jam.
– drooling over these Gluten Free Brownies.
– Loved Lindsay’s post about feeling jealous on the internet and 12 ways make it stop. Also, Camille’s post about digital detoxing.
– This Penguin Cocktail Shaker makes me so happy.
Happy happy hour! xo, Jeanine

Special thanks to Anthropologie for providing the tableware items in this post!
Tried it today with freshly grated ginger as didn’t have ginger juice- a scant 1/8 teaspoon – and juice from a pink lemon (that’s all I had) and I absolutely love this combination. Yum! Thanks!
Where did you get the striped cheese board?
anthropologie!
Awesome, but can’t seem to find it on their site. Do you have a link?
Oh no, I don’t see it there either – it used to be in this link (part of this set): http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-serve-drink/33637026.jsp?color=006#/ where it says “pinch pots” next to “size” it used to have the option for “dome”
Love this! I had no idea ginger juice was sold in any other format than the tiny overpriced bottles in juice shops. Will have to pick up a bottle next time I’m in Whole Foods 🙂
This drink sounds amazing. Also, absolutely LOVE those champagne coupes!!
You have my vote! That feather knife is so pretty!
thank you!!
That penguin drink shaker is making me come to tears with how cute it is! I need it for my new apartment… now!

Ha! it really is so cute 🙂
I love Meyer lemons (I only tried them last year)! This drink looks so refreshing!
These look so good! I don’t drink any more but when I did ginger lemon and gin was definitely my kind of thing, I bet they hit the spot 🙂
This sounds so refreshing! My kind of cocktail for sure 🙂

This is great. I just made one and liked it so much that I had to make another. Yea Ginger and Lemons! Sorry I don’t Instagram. Best to you.
Hi Elizabeth, I’m so glad you liked them! 🙂
Eye candy.. I am going to make this one for girls get together
PS: how did u peel lemon like that.. ?
I used this citrus peeler, http://amzn.to/1XQiiQZ, to make one long peel (works best on a really soft meyer lemon), then wrapped it around a chopstick and froze it so that it would keep it’s curly shape 🙂
Ginger in gimlets, what a great idea. You’ve got my vote for BHG food blogger award! Good luck!
looks delicious! where do you buy ginger juice though? or do you make it?
Hi Rachel – sorry I forgot to link it! I love the Ginger People’s ginger juice. I buy it at Whole Foods and similar stores – here’s a link to it on amazon: http://amzn.to/1QC4u6G
