Marguerite Cocktail Recipe

Channel the glamour of a bygone tradition with Plymouth Gin

In 1904, Stuart's Fancy Drinks and How to Mix Them introduced the world to the Dry Gin Martini. Known then as the Marguerite, the cocktail derived its smooth and aromatic elegance from the seven botanicals (including citrus peel, green cardamom and juniper) in Plymouth Gin. The distillery had been in operation for some 110 years when the book hit shelves.

Recreate this classic Martini recipe—and harness the turn–of–the–century splendor—by making it the way it was intended to be made.
