Our fresh take on the Gimlet staves off both scurvy and sobriety
This month’s Remix is best accessorized with a shoulder-clawing parrot, or maybe just a striped T-shirt: Some say the Gimlet was named for British Royal Navy surgeon Sir Thomas Gimlette, who purportedly prescribed a mixture of gin and lime juice to British sailors to prevent scurvy. There’s no proof of this; however, the association between…
