SUNDAY SESH // GIN GIMLET
This Sunday Sesh we are raising our glasses to the Gin Gimlet!
Another cocktail with a mysterious origin story, one source claims that this drink was created to stop scurvy on English Naval ships! The vitamin C in the lime helps prevent this. But Officers weren't taking their rations.. So they thought to themselves, 'How do I get sailors to ingest lime?' Add alcohol of course! And the Gin Gimlet was invented. Modern day; This drink is great for those on a health bender. It's Low calorie, and a good excuse to get (ship)wrecked!
- So dust off that cocktail shaker and get in!
Ingredients:
- 60mL Gin
- 30mL Fresh Lime Juice
- 15mL Sugar Syrup ( for the sweet-toothed )
- 1 Slice Cucumber
Method:
- Add the Gin, fresh lime juice and sugar syrup into your cocktail shaker
