The Gimlet is a simple yet elegant cocktail combining dry gin, lime juice, and simple syrup.
It delivers a clean profile where the dry body of gin, the refreshing tartness of lime, and the soft sweetness of syrup are perfectly balanced.
With an alcohol content of around 22–24%, it is typically served straight, allowing the bold character of gin to shine.
The drink traces its roots to the British Royal Navy in the late 19th century, where sailors mixed lime juice with gin to prevent scurvy.
A true classic, the Gimlet is perfect for those seeking a clean, no-frills cocktail with timeless appeal.
