Gin Gimlet
The gimlet is a cocktail made of gin and lime juice. A 1928 description of the drink was: gin, and a spot of lime.The description in the 1953 Raymond Chandler novel The Long Goodbye stated that "a real gimlet is half gin and half Rose's lime juice and nothing else."This is in line with the proportions suggested by The Savoy Cocktail Book, which specifies one half Plymouth Gin and one half Rose's Lime Juice Cordial.
