The Gimlet has roots stretching back to the British Royal Navy in the late 19th century. Sailors were given lime juice to ward off scurvy, and, as legend has it, they mixed it with gin to make it more palatable. The drink is named after Sir Thomas Gimlette, the naval surgeon credited with introducing this blend. Over the years, the Gimlet made its way into sophisticated cocktail culture, becoming a favorite for its refreshing simplicity and timeless charm.
