The recipe for this wasn’t first put into words until 1862, but it’s thought to have existed for a few decades prior. Similar to the Gin Gimlet, this cocktail was enjoyed by sailors in the thought to help them fight scurvy and malnutrition as it includes fresh citrus. Regardless, it’s a refreshing, classic cocktail which is quite easy to whip up and impress your pals.
