Raspberry Gimlet

The Raspberry Gimlet is a refreshing twist on the classic gimlet, blending the tartness of fresh raspberries with the crispness of gin and lime. A refined drink with a vibrant hue and a burst of fruity flavour, balanced by the zing of freshly squeezed lime juice and the smoothness of sugar cane syrup. It's a perfect cocktail for those who enjoy a fruity, yet sophisticated cocktail.

The Raspberry Gimlet is a modern variation of the classic gimlet, which dates back to the late 19th century. The original gimlet was a simple mix of gin and lime juice, popularised by British naval officers who used it to prevent scurvy. Over time, bartenders began experimenting with the recipe, adding different flavours. The Raspberry Gimlet emerged as a fresh, fruity twist, with muddled raspberries enhancing the drink's tartness and adding a vibrant colour. This variation has become a popular choice for those seeking a balance between sweet and sour in a cocktail.

Our Raspberry Gimlet is made with Adnams Copper House Gin, charged with juniper, citrus, and floral notes. They use the finest East Anglian malted barley and six carefully selected botanicals in a small-batch copper pot still to craft this trophy-winning gin. Fruity notes of juniper and sweet orange peel sit alongside the floral flavours of hibiscus and classic aromatic London dry gin botanicals like cardamom and coriander seed. We pair this with raspberry liqueur and lime juice to give this drink its distinctive fruity flavour.
