If you're looking for a light and refreshing cocktail, the Vodka Gimlet is not the drink for you. The cocktail is strong and cold and should not be taken lightly. But if you're into classic cocktails with a unique twist, look no further than this concoction.

This drink dates back to the late 18th century when British sailors needed vitamin C to keep scurvy at bay. Limes were added to the drink to make it more palatable, and vodka soon replaced gin as the spirit of choice. Today, the Vodka Gimlet is still one of the most popular cocktails around.
