Interesting Note:

The Rosemary Gimlet takes inspiration from the original gimlet, a cocktail with a storied history dating back to the British Royal Navy in the 19th century. Sailors drank gimlets—a mix of gin and lime juice—to prevent scurvy, making it a practical and refreshing choice. The addition of rosemary to the gimlet is a modern twist that adds depth and an aromatic dimension to the drink. Rosemary, often associated with memory and fidelity, brings a sense of mindfulness and tradition to this cocktail, making it a thoughtful choice for any occasion. The rosemary not only complements the botanical notes of gin but also introduces an herbal warmth that lingers on the palate, enhancing the overall experience.
