Gimlet

The Gimlet is sharp, simple, and endlessly refreshing—a cocktail with naval roots and timeless appeal. Traditionally made with gin and lime cordial, the modern version favors gin, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup, creating a zesty, slightly sweet, and spirit-forward drink that’s as crisp as a starched white shirt. Originally used to prevent scurvy on British ships (thanks, vitamin C!), the Gimlet has evolved into a sleek, no-nonsense staple for lovers of citrus and botanicals.
