What is a gimlet?

A gimlet is actually two things, kiddo! It can be a tool or a drink. Now, don't get too excited about the drink part, it's only for grown-ups.

Firstly, a gimlet as a tool is like a little screwdriver. It's used to bore holes into wood. Imagine if you're building a treehouse and you need to make holes to put the nails in, that's when you'd use a gimlet. It's like giving the wood a little tickle so it opens up and lets the nail in.

Secondly, a gimlet is also a cocktail made with gin and lime juice. But remember, this is just for adults! It might sound tasty because of the lime juice but it also has gin which isn't for kids. So no sneaking sips when adults aren't looking!

So there you have it! A gimlet can either help build your dream treehouse or be an adult's fancy drink at their parties. Just make sure not to mix them up!
