Creole Gimlet

I find Velvet Falernum fascinating, but haven't yet on my own created anything worth mentioning. During my nightly blog crawl, I found an excellent recipe on ohgo.sh.

• 1½ oz Tanqueray dry gin
  
• ½ oz falernum
  
• 1 bar-spoon Rose’s Lime Cordial
  
• 1 bar-spoon plain water
  
• Dash of lime
  
• 2-3 dashes Peychaud’s bitters

Shake all ingredients with ice and fine strain in to a chilled cocktal glass. Garnish with a lime zest twist.

I don't have Rose's Lime Cordial (or any other store bought syrups), so used fresh lime & rich simple syrup.
