Torbay Gimlet

The gimlet is a true classic of the gin cocktail scene, first attributed to Sir Thomas Gimlette, a Royal Navy physician who recommended adding gin to lime to encourage sailors to drink it. This was supposedly to avoid scurvy during the 19th century. IN the modern day, the gimlet adds both lime and sugar syrup to gin to create a well-balanced, delicious cocktail.
