About
The classic cocktail dates back to 1930 and is attributed to “Jimmy,” late of Ciro’s in London. It is essentially a Gimlet variation, built with fresh lime juice and finished with Angostura bitters. The bitters add spice and depth, giving the drink a little more structure while keeping it bright and straightforward.Cheers y’all!
