Fun fact: the gimlet was invented in the 1800s British navy. They drank lime juice to prevent scurvy but the sailors hated the taste. So an Admiral Gimlette had the genius to add gin to lime juice. Originally 50/50 gin and lime juice

[@victoriahope8371]

Fun facts 💯

[@HeaIthyFamiIyForce]

Now that's a drink I can get into. And I won't die from scurvy.

[@DH-xw6jp]

Additional fun fact: Because the limes would go bad while they were at sea, they started preserving the limes with sugar. Thus Lime Cordial was invented. The Admiral Gimlet and Grog are both drinks using Navy Proof liquor, (Gin in the Gimlet, Rum in the Grog) lime juice, sugar, and water (or a Lime Cordial in place of the last three ingredients).

And its incredibly popular, both because if made right it's delicious, its usually cheap yet still profitable, and is easy to 'play around' with to create new drinks. The lady says she never sold one in 16 years? What, did she only work one day each week those 16 years?

I honestly find it hard to comprehend where they find these shitholes sometimes. I've drank in hundreds of bars all across the world, and yes I've definitely drank in some absolute dives but I always found that was more down to the clientele and not the actual staff. Like I've never met a bartender (an experienced one anyway) that didn't know how to make a drink or who drank in front of customers on the job. In one of the locals near me there was a bar that could literally seat like 30 people and was running an illegal cigarette operation from behind the bar and I never had service as bad as I've seen in some of these episodes.
