The Gimlet has its origins in the British Royal Navy, where sailors were given lime juice to prevent scurvy and mixed it with gin to make it more palatable. Over time, it evolved into one of the cleanest and most enduring classic cocktails.
Traditionally made with gin and lime, it is all about sharpness and clarity of flavour. The balance is simple but unforgiving, which is why it works so well when done properly. It is a drink that feels crisp, direct, and quietly confident.
