About Gimlet

The Gimlet is a classic cocktail with origins in English naval history, traditionally made with gin and lime cordial. Modern variations often include fresh lime juice and simple syrup for a brighter, more natural flavor. This drink is associated with British cuisine and was originally consumed for its practical health benefits: sailors used lime juice to prevent scurvy due to its high vitamin C content. While the lime provides some nutritional value, the Gimlet is primarily an alcoholic beverage and should be enjoyed in moderation. Gin, the base spirit, contains botanicals like juniper, which some claim have antioxidant properties. However, the sugar from lime cordial or syrup can add to your calorie intake. Overall, the Gimlet is less about nutrition and more about enjoying a refreshing blend of citrus and spirit, balanced with a touch of sweetness.
