Raspberry Lemon Gimlet: A Classic, Evolved to Include Non-Alcoholic Options
The History of Gimlets
Gimlets have been a popular cocktail for over a century, with their origins tracing back to the Royal Navy in the 19th century. Traditionally made with gin and lime juice, gimlets have evolved over time to include variations such as vodka and grapefruit juice. And now, with the rise of non-alcoholic alternatives, it's easier than ever to enjoy a delicious gimlet without the alcohol.
What makes gimlets so special? For starters, their simple yet flavorful ingredients make them a go-to for cocktail enthusiasts. With just gin, lime juice, and simple syrup, gimlets offer a refreshing and zesty taste that is both easy to make and easy to enjoy.
