Navy Strength Gin Cocktails: Gimlet
The Gimlet cocktail has its origins in the Royal Navy where lime was given to sailors to prevent scurvy. To make the citrus more palatable, lime was added to gin which gave rise to the Gimlet, which makes it apt for a navy strength gin cocktail. A high proof gin adds a bright, sharp and clean-tasting flavour particularity when combined with a citrus forward gin.
