A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

Naval Gimlet

Posted by Zachary Pearson. Created by Harry McElhone.
1 oz Gin, Plymouth Navy Strength
1 oz Lime cordial, Rose's (or homemade - see notes)
Instructions

Stir together. For an authentic shipboard Gimlet, do not add ice.

Notes

To make lime cordial, peel 4 limes, and juice 8 of them to make 1 cup of lime juice. Strain the juice and divide in half. Make a 2:1 simple syrup from half the lime juice, 1 tsp of citric acid and the peels, reducing the syrup slightly until thick. Remove from the heat, let cool, and add the remaining lime juice. Strain again and bottle. For a modern touch, a makrut (kaffir) lime leaf or two can be added to the syrup.

History

McElhone's book calls for equal parts, and I figure that this is a small drink.

The Flight of the Negroni

The Negroni is indomitable. Attack it with skewed ratios, and it rallies. Violate the ingredients, and it stubbornly persists. I can’t think of another drink that you can screw up so thoroughly and still enjoy the result.

This history of the Negroni is disputed, but probably dates to 1919, where the Americano was stiffened by substituting gin for the soda water. Regardless of exactly who created the drink and when, the Negroni is the King of bitter cocktails. If you spy a bottle of Campari on the backbar, the bartender probably knows how to make a Negroni.

  • Re Vancouver, 16 minutes 16 seconds ago Shawn C commented:

    This one changed over time. Difford's Guide points to a the "Vancouver" recipe in "About Town Cocktail Book" published in 1925 by Mitchell Printing & Publishing of Vancouver, B.C. Same ingredients except using French vermouth rather than sweet vermouth; proportions differ with more Benedictine, probably for balance (50 gin/30 dry vermouth/20 benedictine/dash of orange bitters/ olive. The book was reviewed and apparently edited by Joe Fitchett, who contributed the "Fitchett" recipe using Italian vermouth in 50/30/20/dash proportions. So the 1934 Boothby recipe that has become the modern norm is likely an evolution of the Vancouver/Fitchett. Boothby's listing is 1/2 jigger: 1/4 jigger: spoonful: 2 dashes : pimento stuffed olive. I will probably curate to list as "altered" and to the Boothby pattern...might need to add a third dash of bitters to get the ratios equivalent.

    Pre-dates Stan Jones. I found this is the 1934 Boothby, and he probably got it elsewhere given the just after Prohibition publication date.
