History:

Created by yours truly in March 2025 and named after Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Desmond Gimlette (1857-1943), a naval doctor who is cited by many as the originator of the Gimlet cocktail. He is said to have mixed gin with lime, the citrus fruit used by the British Navy to help prevent seamen from being inflicted by scurvy, a condition induced by vitamin C deficiency.
