The Gimlet

With the Doctor Strange movie coming up, we dove into a Doctor Strange comic.  Doctor Strange: The Oath, a self contained story, with a good dose of back-story. 



 

  • 2 oz Plymouth Gin
  • 0.75 oz Lime Cordial
  • 0.75 oz Lime Juice

Shake with ice and strain into a chilled coupe glass.  Garnish with a lime wheel.

One theory is that the drink was named after British Royal Navy Surgeon Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Gimlette KCB (1857-1943), who allegedly introduced this drink as a means of inducing his messmates to take lime juice as an anti-scurvy medication. (Lime and other citrus fruit have been used by the Royal Name for the prevention of scurvy since the mid-18th century.) However, neither his obituary notice in the Times, nor his entry in the Who was Who 1941-150 mentions this association.

The Elixir

With the Doctor Strange movie coming up, we dove into a Doctor Strange comic.  Doctor Strange: The Oath, a self contained story, with a good dose of back-story. 



This week we are joined by our first guest bartender.  Rich from The Cellar Spirit Room in Fullerton created “The Elixir” a craft cocktail that ties in perfectly for this book.

  • 1 oz Orgeat (Small Hand Food Recomended)
  • 0.5 oz Kübler Absinthe (has to be this Absinthe for the drink to taste right)
  • 0.5 oz Fords Gin (or any standard gin)
  • 3/4 oz Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice 

Shake the shit out of it, and strain into a glass.

Listen to Episode 28 - Doctor Strange: The Oath for an interview with Rich about his career, and his process.
