Comments:
The gimlet may have been
named after Royal Navy
surgeon Sir Thomas Gimlette
(served 1879-1913). Sir
Thomas was forever looking
for ways to combat scurvy.
When he discovered Rose’s
Lime Cordial he ensured
it was available on all Royal
Navy vessels. The cordial was
produced and patented by
Scottish entrepreneur Lauchlan
Rose in 1867, and was the
world’s first fruit concentrate.
