Description
The Gimlet is a cocktail of captivating simplicity and elegance. Its history is closely linked with the British Royal Navy, where sailors drank lime juice to prevent scurvy. To preserve the juice, it was conserved—giving birth to Lime Cordial. Mixed with the officers' gin, a drink was created that was both practical and delicious. A classic Gimlet consists of just these two ingredients and impresses with its intense, sweet-and-sour lime flavor that perfectly harmonizes with the botanicals of the gin.
Preparation

- Add gin and lime cordial to a mixing glass filled with ice.
- Stir until the glass is well-chilled.
- Discard the ice from the cocktail glass.
