The Gin Gimlet is a British naval classic, originally conceived as a palatable way for officers to take their lime rations. The drink balances gin's juniper-forward botanicals against bright citrus acidity, with just enough sweetness to smooth the edges. It's crisp, tart, and refreshingly uncomplicated—a testament to what three ingredients can achieve when properly proportioned.
