The Gimlet

Naval Gimlet made with homemade lime cordial
“that which I have seene most fruitful is sower [sour] oranges and lemons . . . I wish that some learned man would write of it [scurvy], for it is the plague of the sea, and the spoyle of mariners.”
— Sir Richard Hawkins, 1590

A gimlet is a small hand drill, meant (back when things were still sealed in barrels) to drill a hole in a barrel and let whatever was put inside out. A gimlet pierces things, and so people with a sharp gaze were “gimlet-eyed”. A Gimlet also pierces. Made from gin and lime, it’s meant to be a short, sharp drink tossed down the hatch, but modern, craft oriented bartenders take one look at the neon-green, corn syrup filled Rose’s lime juice that’s supposed to go into the drink and think about either making their own lime cordial or simply substituting fresh lime juice and sugar. And I don’t think they’re wrong.

  • Re Mayor's Lament, 9 hours ago Shawn C commented:

    This recipe has an omission, but that is traced back to the reference link at Frederic Yarm's excellent site. The 3 dashes of Regan's Orange Bitters in the book reference was omitted in the listing--although it is a 50/50 guess whether the version Yarm made actually had this (or not) and it was inadvertently left off the ingredient list. I will likely curate this to list the book reference and update accordingly.

    Tasty, wished I had read the note and backed off the punt e mes a tad. I miss the jammyness ofnthe classic carpano.

    Published & curated to show as authentic recipe, with year, creator and establishment.

  • Re Giuseppe's Lady, 1 day 12 hours ago Shawn C commented:

    Published & curated to add establishment where it was created, approximate year, and to reword some of the history to avoid word-for-word copying from a portion of the reference.

    Used Solera and it was delicious, unctuous and raisiny with the scotch at the finish.
