Back in the days when beers and spirits were stored in barrels, bar managers used to use a small, sharp hand tool called a gimlet to tap into them. Hence this small, sharp-tasting cocktail has acquired its name. Originally this drink was made with Plymouth gin - a more assertive and earthy style of London gin, that can by law only be produced in Plymouth, Devon. The first recipe for this pre-dinner drink was published around 1930. The vodka-based gimlet is now more common. Rose's lime cordial is the original lime juice accompaniment whatever the spirit base.
