Plymouth Gin was named in the first recorded dry martini recipe in 1904. Well over a century later, the martini universe is ever expanding. Let us be your guide to finding, and creating, the ideal martini to match your mood or occasion.
The Martini is one of a small number of cocktails that are made bespoke for every individual. It is amazing that such a simple combination of ingredients can have so many ways of being brought together to make the final drink. A wise man (Max Warner) once coined it beautifully:
Making a Martini is like making a cup of tea.
Such a simple sentence that anyone – from professionals and connoisseurs to first time drinkers – can get their heads around. A cup of tea sounds like such a simple drink to make, however, we all understand that far more information is required to be able to actually fulfil such a request to the drinker’s exacting requirements. And so it is for the Martini too.
