Gin Gimlet

Gin

The word 'gimlet' used in this sense is first attested in 1928. The most obvious derivation is from the tool for drilling small holes, a word also used figuratively to describe something as sharp or piercing. Thus, the cocktail may have been named for its 'penetrating' effects on the drinker.
