www.smallscreennetwork.com How to Make a Gimlet Cocktail The Gimlet is an old style navy drink most likely invented when sailors in the British navy mixed their ration of gin with lime juice. A 1953 description was: "a real gimlet is half gin and half Rose's lime juice and nothing else" (Terry Lennox in Raymond Chandler's The Long Goodbye). Thus, Robert Hess shows you how to make a gimlet with Hendrick's Gin and Rose's Lime Juice, going against the idea that fresh is always better. Watch on Small Screen: www.smallscreennetwork.com/video/445/cocktail_spirit_gimlet/ Recipe: 2 oz Hendrick's Gin 3/4 oz Rose's Lime Juice Instructions: Shake with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass.
