GIMLET COCKTAIL RECIPE - A TIPPLE WITH A NAUTICAL BACKSTORY

Legend has it, Royal Navy surgeon Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Gimlette whipped up this zesty potion in the 19th-century to keep his sailors scurvy-free.

Greytown Distilling Co’s Horopito & Lime Dry Martini Connoisseur Premium Gin takes this tradition and kicks it up a notch; kaffir lime leaves are securely lashed with fresh lime peel in a distinctly Kiwi blend, and available to buy online in 375ml and 750ml flasks:

• 2-4 parts gin
• 1 part fresh or sweetened lime juice

1. Gently combine in a mixing glass (gentle, keep it gentle).
2. Serve in a cocktail glass - elegance counts, matey’s.
3. Garnish with a lime slice.

And there you have it - the Gimlet; a simple cocktail to enliven a summer’s day by the coast and every bit as invigorating as a stiff sea breeze.
