Gimlet

Description

A Gimlet is a classic drink composed of gin, lime juice, and sugar that was popularized and drunk by British officers during the 19th century. Sailors benefited from citrus juice because it prevented them from contracting scurvy, a cruel, painful and often deadly disease caused by vitamin C deficiency.
