Plymouth Gin Brings Authentic Flair and History to the Thanksgiving Table with Mayflower Martini ... Plymouth Gin Brings Authen

NEW YORK, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The secret to a traditional Thanksgiving celebration can be found in a most unusual location -- a legendary bottle of smooth Plymouth Gin. Plymouth Gin, best known for its inclusion in the first documented dry martini recipe printed in 1896 in Stuart's Fancy Drinks and How to Mix Them, provides countless ways to enjoy this classic spirit just in time for Thanksgiving.

A unique recipe that will surely impress guests is The Mayflower Martini, a classic cocktail that blends seasonal fall flavors including apples and apricots into a smooth and savory drink. For dessert, a new twist on an old favorite is the Plymouth Pumpkin Pie with Gin-ger Cream. By using only sweet-tasting botanicals and fewer junipers, Plymouth Gin creates a winning combination when delicately joined with the pie's other ingredients including pumpkin, brown sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon.

To further underscore Thanksgiving tradition, the Plymouth bottle features its own piece of history. The Plymouth Gin label features a picture of the Mayflower ship - an inseparable element of this holiday.

Black Friars Distillery, the home of Plymouth Gin, is the oldest working gin distillery in England and is situated in the heart of the historic port city of Plymouth in the country's south west. The Pilgrim Fathers spent their last night in the Black Friars Distillery in 1620 before making the short walk down to the harbour to set sail on the Mayflower on their epic voyage to start a new life in America. The distillery's heritage includes the Refectory, a medieval hall dating back to 1431. Its vaulted ceiling is one of the finest surviving examples of medieval architecture.

Today, Plymouth Gin is the only gin with a Protected Designation of Origin, being distilled in one location to ensure consistency in quality, taste and smoothness. Its production process can be viewed online through an interactive tour at http://www.plymouthgin.com .
