A deep dive into the Gimlet and three recipes you can use to approach this drink, I think you'll like this one!
I was surprised by what I found when I started looking into this drink, but I guess I shouldn't have been, honestly I just didn't know all that much about it. It turns out that the Gimlet is a drink with real deep history. It goes back to the age of sail, and was created mainly out of a need to prevent and cure scurvy, which was a horror for sailor's of the time. Initially the lime juice being administered to sailors had to be preserved in alcohol, but later when Lachlan Rose discovered another means of preservation, well... they put that in alcohol too. And that is the gimlet! There's some debate on where the name originated from, personally I'm not sure Sir. Dr. Thomas Gimlette ever existed, so I hold with the idea that it's named after the tool you open the barrels with.

Have you though about doing a Gimlet whit an Old Tom Gin or something that’s been barreled? I’d have assumed it would be more like what the sailors Drank as most spirits were transported in barrels in ships? I’ve got some kicking around. I find it makes a super interesting variant of of this drink, somewhat more aligned with a whiskey sour than a gimlet but it’s something you should dabble with.

@jeremybuckets 4 года назад

Greg, love the episode. One minor quibble is that the limes you used to make your cordial (and the overwhelmingly popular breed in grocery stores) are Persian limes. When the gimlet was developed, Persian limes didn't exist. Most likely, the original cordial would have been made with key limes. If you scratch and sniff the essential oils from a Persian and key lime, you'll (probably) notice that the key lime is *much* more pleasant. Next time you run out of cordial you might try those instead and see how it works for you!

One of my main takeaways from this, Rose's make a different Lime Cordial for the US market from it's Native UK one. Seriously the ingredient's in ours are (as diluted): Water, Lime Juice from Concentrate (5%), Sugar, Citric Acid, Flavourings, Sodium Meabisulphite and Colours in the form of Carotene and Green S - so no High Fructose Corn Syrup (a very common difference between US and UK food/drink products), Lime Juice being more prominent, plus more Citric Acid in ours. I do wonder though, if we sent Greg some UK Mixers (not just Roses but anything else we can think of) would he do a side by side tasting of UK vs US mixes to see if there's a big difference?

@paladonis 4 года назад

I think that would be an awesome idea honestly. I still laugh at Europe sending back whole shipments of Fireball because the American version was sent to them and it didn't meet specs. Raised people's awareness of Fireball out here in the US....for a little while at least. Till people saw the next shiny thing, which might have been Canada sending back medicinal weed grown in the US because it was too inferior to what they already had. Something like that. Anyways. I think it's a great idea!

We (US) are cursed by abundant supplies of (government price supported) corn. So we get the gaddommed Corn Syrup and HFCS. Stuff made w/ it tastes different from "Real Sugar"* but mixes pretty well w/ Bourbon, the latter being corn-based. * Real Sugar. What we have is mostly beet sugar, as I believe is the case for the UK. Rainy tropic climes get cane sugar mostly... it grows like weeds there. It almost seems some of these companies would make Real Sugar versions of stuff, at higher prices, for the "drink snob" market.

I had my first gimlet at a Georgetown restaurant, on their opening night. The cocktails there generally were excellent but this was the perfect one to start on a hot summer day. I am pretty confident it was the real deal and not a fresh lime juice version. After watching this video, I made the Morgenthaler version of the lime cordial. The gimlet I made with it was absolutely fantastic, very much like what I had in Georgetown. Even in winter it is great drinking. So I owe Mr. Morgenthaler and Mr. HTD a debt of thanks.

My father was in the Navy in the 60's and the way he drank like a sailor was by drinking many, many, Coconut Malibu and Coca-Cola drinks.

This was in Michigan, at night, in the winter, and it was snowing.

My introduction to gin was booking a place on the "connoisseur tour" at the Plymouth distillery (UK), it was a midweek morning and I was the only attendee so it was a one on one tasting! I had a gimlet made from Roses (per the story) and Plymouth navy proof gin (57%abv) apparently Plymouth supplied the Royal navies gin, it was never London dry style, and of course it would need to be navy proof to avoid damp powder, either way it was very very good for 11am !

This episode reminded me of my grandparents. My grandmother used to sit in her chair and have at least one "double vodka gimlet" while she smoked cigarettes and watched the evening news. Coincidentally, she was not drinking it for the scurvy (although my grandfather probably would have told you she was). When my grandfather passed, we cleaned out his garage and found several re-purposed spray bottles labeled "special cleaner" which turned out to just be whiskey. This is how he kept a healthy stash of booze available as he got older and my grandmother started enforcing the doctor's "no more alcohol rule" with him.

@jeremybuckets 4 года назад

2:1 simple syrup is only about 30% sweeter than 1:1, so the compensation is really quite small, especially in the quantity that will exist in a single cocktail. Most generally though, recipes are laws for bartenders who need to serve exactly the same drink every single day forever. At home, if you think your drink needs to be more or less sweet based on the liquids you've assembled, then... make what you like!

Such a range of emotions I felt watching this video. First, I like anything piratey and the idea that naval officers (and thus pirates as well) would have drank this meant I needed to try it. Then I crashed when you read the ingredients in Roses. So I thought I would just use simple syrup and lime juice, you brought that up and I was victorious! Then you said it wasn’t quite right and again I was crushed. Finally you made the cordial, seems easy enough and I have all the ingredients at home. So I copied your moves, chilled the cordial and now I am happily sipping my first gin gimlet whilst watching Bluey with my kids. Cheers from NJ mate.

Greg and the HTD team - Your continuing interplay of history and spirits never ceases to impress. Keep up the fantastic work!

You know based on nothing but Greg's kettle that he's also a bit of a coffee nerd, probably drinks pour overs

@bombshellblonde544 4 года назад

He definitely does. He's used a Chemex in a few live streams, and I think he did in the dalgona coffee and Irish coffee videos

I just tried this drink with the Morganthaler cordial and I've got to say, its absolutely delicious! Thank you for bringing me another absolute banger of a drink.

"looks like about an ounce" obviously never purchased powered substances before

@jamesmackes4531 4 года назад

Depends on one's definition of "powered". Looks like about an ounce of shrooms, but I'll fight tooth and nail to get the scale out for ket.

Greg you are right, Jeffs cordial just melted my brains. Great drink, thank you!

Recently tried a gimlet for the first time and its quickly becoming my new classic favorite. Thanks for the added perspective on the drink!

Just made the Morganthaler Lime Cordial and subsequent Lime Gimlet... Gasp and Swoon! I have caught the vapors! So freakin’ good! And thank you for sharing he lime juice recipe. Easy and so worth it.

Thank you for both excoriating Rose's lime "juice", and revealing that its authentic history. In the modern age, we have access to fresh lemons year round, thank heavens.
