This cocktail dates all the way back to prohibition, when gin came from a guy who knew a guy, and served in top secret speakeasies.
Nowadays, the distilling world is a different place. We use high quality ingredients, and our very legal 50 Fathoms Gin is served in bars and restaurants all over the state. You may have even had this exact cocktail in your favorite drinking establishment.

.25 oz Fresh lemon juice
