The Vodka Gimlet cocktail dates back to the 18th century to prevent sailors from getting scurvy. And because real men don’t need vitamins, they added vodka to the drink to make it ‘better on the tongue’ – oh man, how I love those good old days.
Unlike the other cocktails you can find on our website, this cocktail starts with ice-cold vodka straight from the freezer. Although the classic gimlet is presented straight up in a cocktail glass, you can also serve it on the rocks or straight up in a rocks glass.
