Gimlet with rosemary
A Gimlet with Rosemary is a refreshing gin-based cocktail, traditionally made with gin and lime juice, but here infused with aromatic rosemary for an herbal twist. It originated as a British Royal Navy drink, often consumed to prevent scurvy, and has evolved into a popular modern cocktail. The rosemary adds a fragrant, piney note that complements the botanicals in gin.
