O.H. Byron’s ‘The Modern Bartenders’ Guide’ (1884). This book recorded the first Martinez recipe, which was to be made the same as a Manhattan, except using gin not whisky. Unhelpfully, he lists two Manhattan recipes! This new recipe uses ingredients from both, and uses whiskey to bring a hint of grain and wood; flavors that were part of gin at that time.

Tim Daly, ‘Daly’s Bartenders’ Encyclopedia’ (1903). This is the earliest recorded version of a Tuxedo in a cocktail book and the original calls for Maple Gin. This version uses maple syrup and Plymouth Gin instead, and is an elegant Martinez alternative.

A desert lover’s Martini. Take a small spoonful of the ‘cheesecake’ to coat the palate then take a sip of the Martini, allowing it to wash across your palate and combine with rich creaminess. Not only does this produce a delicious combination but also cleans the palate ready to repeat the tasty process.

A California inspired smoky martini. A fifty-fifty recipe using this nutty, dried fruit, sherry based sweet vermouth, then given a hint of smoke by way of a splash of mezcal. This combination is lifted with a double citrus twist then finished with a sliced dried apricot that imparts a hint of fruit into the drink and is even more delicious to eat at the end once it has sat and soaked into the drink.

A fresh, simple and now popular take on the classic Plymouth Gin cocktail created by the British Royal Navy in the 1800s. Originally a combination of Plymouth Gin and Rose’s Lime Cordial (taken on-board ship from 1867 to prevent scurvy). The Gimlet migrated to cocktail bars; where Plymouth Gin and Rose’s Lime Cordial were stirred down and served ‘up. Today, homemade cordials or this fresh version are the GO!

A simple, elderflower variation on the classic Gimlet. A pinch of salt helps the flavours ‘pop’ on the palate. Make the cordial separately, bottle and leave in the fridge for when the time is right to make one of these tasty little drinks! The name references the fact that lime cordial was taken every day to prevent scurvy and it is also the surname of Harriet, the manager of the Refectory Bar in the home of Plymouth Gin.

A tradition of the British Royal Navy is to raise the Gin Pennant (a triangular green flag with a white vertical stripe down the center) when in port as a signal to invite officers from other ships to come aboard for hospitality…and Gin of course! This easy to drink ‘Fruit Cup’ style cocktail is a celebration of that ethos; bringing new friends and old together over a glass of gin!
