The Gimlet: The Navy’s Medicine

British Royal Navy sailors were given a daily ration of lime juice to prevent scurvy. Adding gin made it palatable. The Gimlet was born of necessity and became a classic.

Fresh vs Rose’s Lime

Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe insisted “a real gimlet is half gin and half Rose’s Lime Juice.” Modern bartenders strongly prefer fresh lime juice for superior flavor.
