The opinion of Damien, our globe-trotting bartender
Much older than our French 75 , the gimlet therefore has just as much history and recipes to tell us. Its origin is even said to have been an equal part of gin and lime cordial .
My favorite places to taste it:
In Paris: Tiger for their gin selection.
Around the world: Gimlet nordic in Riga, Latvia.
