Review:

The two naval spirits sit harmoniously together in this delicately flavoured Gimlet.

History:

Created in 2010 by yours truly and named due to the Gimlet's Navy origins and British sailors being nicknamed 'limeys', thanks to mixing their daily rum ration of with lime or lemon juice and sugar to help prevent scurvy. The mixture was known as Grog.
