Modern Gimlet: shake gin and lime cordial with ice for 12 seconds, double-strain into a chilled coupe. Classic British Royal Navy spec uses Rose's specifically. House version uses fresh lime + house cordial.
British Royal Navy, 1860s-ish. Lime to prevent scurvy. The argument over whether to use Rose's or fresh lime juice + sugar continues forever.
Coupe, no ice, no garnish (or a lime wheel if guest wants). Ask: 'Rose's or fresh lime?' if we offer both.
Bracing, dry, citrus-forward. Should taste like a slightly sweetened gin and lime.
Costing is directional. Confirm against current beverage grid when invoices update.
