gimlet
Small boring tool
A gimlet is a small hand tool for boring holes, consisting of a handle attached to a metal shaft with a screw point and cutting edges.
The gimlet eye is a piercing, penetrating gaze—one that seems to bore into you: She fixed him with a gimlet stare.
A gimlet is also a cocktail of gin (or vodka) and lime juice, served cold.
