6 THE GIN GIMLET

£69.00

Originating in British maritime tradition, the GIN GIMLET has been considered a “Gentleman’s Drink” since the end of the 19th century. No one knows exactly where its name comes from, though one story attributes the name “Gimlet” to a tool of the same name used in shipbuilding. We’re fond of the story that credits the cocktail to British Royal Navy ship doctor Sir Thomas Gimlette, who administered his patented gin and limes as a remedy.

Despite all of the stories, one thing is certain: while the creation of gin and lime cordial may have emerged in a male-dominated environment, it cuts a fine figure in female society, served in a chilled Coupette glass and flavoured and garnished with a twist of lemon peel.

Ingredients: Dry Gin, Lime Cordial (with preservatives)
