A simple cocktail of gin and lime. It originated around 1890 when Lord Gimlet, a Royal Navy physician, became concerned about the excessive consumption of gin that was being distributed to officers on board ships, and suggested mixing it with lime juice to maintain good health. Use cordial lime juice with sugar for a sweeter finish. If the lime juice is 100% juice, the result will have a distinctly fresh aroma.
