MARTINI...... £7.50 Plymouth Gin, Noilly Prat. We like our Martini dry. How do you like yours? Dry, wet, dirty, Churchill? With a twist or olive? We’ll do it any way you like. The origins of this quintessential tipple are murky at best. While some claim it evolved from the Martinez - a concoction of gin, sweet vermouth, lemon and Maraschino - others argue it simply derives from the fortified wine brand itself. Wherever it appeared from, we’re just glad it did. Sophisticated, uncomplicated and bound to get you merry.
NEGRONI...... £7.50 Plymouth Gin, Campari, Cocchi di Torino. Most commonly reported as being realised in 1919 in Florence, Italy as a way to give the Americano - Campari, sweet vermouth and soda - a boozier kick. Broody and bitter, this simple 1:1:1 ratio drink should be approached with reverence. A slow sipper to be appreciated for the purity and harmony of its ingredients.
GIMLET...... £7.50 Plymouth Gin & lime cordial. From 1867 onwards, all British Naval ships were required to carry rations of fresh lime juice to prevent scurvy. The only issue was – it spoiled, fast. Around that time Launchlin Rose patented a way to preserve the juices without alcohol – and Rose’s Lime Cordial was born. The Naval Officers, though, liked their health kick with a heavy dose of gin. And the Gimlet as we know it today came into existence. Sip your way through these enduring creations of cocktail masters from pre-prohibition through the 20th century.
