Directions
1) Grab a chilled Martini Glass.

Thank you for calling attention to the higher-proof gin(which I failed to do in my Gimlet recipe). Liked this one.

No problem. I love using the Navy Strength in recipes or on voyages. It keeps up moral. Sadly not as many people know about the higher strength in Gin. I have seen may recipes with lower strength gin, but I did some research and saw it was originally made the higher strength Gin due to Gun Powder.
I looked up your recipe you certainly have done your research on the drink and a worthy choice of gin to use. Also gave your Gin a like as well.
The gimlet was invented by a Royal Navy doctor named Sir Thomas Desmond Gimlette so sailors could mix gin with their daily lime ration to prevent scurvy.
