Gimlet
Rated 5.0 stars by 1 users
The Gimlet was promoted and drunk by British officers back in the 19th Century. Citrus juice was a gift from the Gods to sailors, as it prevented them from catching scurvy – a brutal, painful and sometimes deadly disease brought about by vitamin C deficiency. This recipe is a beautiful modern take, featuring Spruce Gin from Maplewood Brewery & Distillery of Chicago, Illinois!
