Naval Gimlet

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.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is meant with "down" in instructions?

Zachary Pearson commented on 6/08/2021:

Generally speaking, "down" means chilled and in a rocks/old fashioned glass. Thanks, Zachary

If you really like the flavor of blanc agricole, then this is a nicely balanced drink, with the agricole front and center, and the other flavors accenting. If, like me, the smell of blanc agricole makes you gag and you need to tame it with some other strong players, this is not the drink you are looking for.

3⁄4 oz Campari
3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
3⁄4 oz Dry vermouth

Originally a drink of equal parts Fir/Campari/Chartreuse, with suggestions for alternative ratios (2:1:1 and 2:2:1). Dried out and lengthened via vermouth following feedback.

bza commented on 8/22/2013:

This is actually similar to a standard drink in the Boston area that originated at Chez Henri in Cambridge:

http://www.kindredcocktails.com/cocktail/shiver

The added chartreuse obviously makes a big difference, but interesting that you added a grapefruit peel - unless this was meant as a riff on that, of course!

DrunkLab commented on 8/23/2013:

I made it as a riff on the End of the Road, which I hoped to give a nod to via the name: http://www.kindredcocktails.com/cocktail/end-of-the-road

But you're right, it does share a lot with the Shiver! A drink that's very high on my to-try list. I wasn't thinking of it when I added a grapefruit twist, but the reasoning's the same: grapefruit has terpenes which highlight the woodsy qualities of the Doug Fir while drawing out the fruity notes of the Campari.

One advantage that the Shiver has over this drink is all that juice. This is a very intense drink, not for everybody, and benefits from a good stir or even shake.I I've found people enjoy it as written, but some might prefer it cut with grapefruit juice, or even, as Stew Ellington suggested to me elsewhere, sweet vermouth.

Dan commented on 1/21/2015:

Increased dry vermouth to 1 oz to help sugar balance. This is a nice drink, but given the price of the ingredients, I think I prefer the Shiver. I'd like to try a mash-up, using tart grapefruit juice in lieu of dry vermouth.

Mixin In Ansley commented on 2/04/2023:

Subbed Bruto Americano for Campari and it worked. Very Adirondacks’ winter lake vibe.

aphonik commented on 1/30/2014:

Randomly stumbled upon this drink and gave it another whirl and I still like it. I think Rittenhouse is the way to go (not sure why I went with Overholt initially) and I used PX sherry instead of madeira since my bottle of Blandy's is a bit past it's prime. Also skipped the rock and served it down. Not bad.
