Rivergreen Cocktails Gimlet

Ready to Drink — Louisville, KY, USA

Reviewed September 10, 2025 (edited September 14, 2025)

3.0 out of 5 stars
Moving on to 2 of the 3 Rivergreen RTDs from their multipack, this one being my favorite and what got me hooked into Rivergreen in the first place. The demands for a good gimlet aren't much, similar to an equally bare-ingredient cocktail like a martini or old fashioned, but good gin is the absolute forefront. Since we don't really know what gin is being used here, it's safe to assume it's either sourced or made as cheaply as possible, as is the case with many other RTDs and the spirits used therein. Since sugar can be inserted in no less than a dozen different ways, as long as the lime is good and fresh, a serviceable gimlet is in order. The nose is definitely prominent with the sweet lime, but not artificially so, as it also smells sour and fresh. There's bright juniper and some basic florality as far as the gin goes, but it's taking quite the back seat to the lime. As expected, the flavor leads with sweet lime, but not in a Rose's kind of way, instead being some less-than-quality simple syrup alongside some fairly fresh, if not from-concentrate lime juice. The gin is somewhat harsh, with cleaning supplies being the first and most notable taste, which unfortunately stays with you through to the finish. Although this had a few minutes in the glass during my setup, there's almost no indication that it was ever carbonated. Despite the gin here (and in all Rivergreen RTDs) being pretty bad, this is easily the most refreshing out of all of their products thus far, making it easy to go back for repeat sips and quenches that itch for a gin cocktail. Although a true gimlet wouldn't be sparkling, because it was promised here, I would really like some more bubbles to keep things bright and moving, but as far as quick gin libations go, picking up a very affordable pack of just these gimlets would not be a disappointment.
