How to Make the Gin Gimlet

The best tasting cure for scurvy there is! Rose’s Lime Cordial was invented for sailors to add to their daily gin allowance. Although there was no more scurvy on the high seas, the sailors developed a penchant for this lime-gin combo and so did the rest of us.

This classic Gimlet might be a more refined version, but it’s just as popular!
