A crisp cocktail well-suited to Finnish tastes, made with gin, redcurrant, and gooseberry, lengthened with hibiscus tonic. This drink’s recipe follows the style of the classic Gimlet with small, interesting variations. A Gimlet includes lime juice and syrup (or sometimes lime syrup), while in The Long Goodbye drink, the lime juice is replaced with Schweppes Premium Hibiscus Tonic<\/strong><\/a> and redcurrant and gooseberry syrup is used instead of simple syrup. <\/p>\n\n

The drink’s name comes from the 1953 crime novel The Long Goodbye, in which an important character, Terry Lennox, is remembered for his fondness for the Gimlet cocktail.<\/p>\n\n

Measure the gin and syrup into a glass over ice. Stir vigorously for a moment. Lengthen the drink with tonic to taste. You can also prepare the drink as a short cocktail in a cocktail glass by chilling the gin and syrup in a glass with ice before straining into the cocktail glass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
