Here’s something a bit special to get the Christmas spirit going – Plymouth Gin has teamed up with Rivington Shoreditch to create a festive experience where guests can enjoy a selection of bespoke winter cocktails with a chance to win exciting gifts. From now until the New Year, guests that treat themselves to one of the special cocktails at Rivington Shoreditch will be able to pick a message in a bottle off the Christmas tree for a chance of a Christmas miracle.

Rivington Shoreditch has created a bespoke menu of neo-classic and daringly modern cocktails that celebrate Plymouth Gin’s unique character and heritage. It includes short, long and hot serves as well as one which has been aged in an oak barrel for 14 days. The series of specially created gin cocktails – with all ingredients specially hand selected by Rivington Shoreditch Bar Manager Piotr Jedrzejewski – are all inspired by naval traditions.

They include:

· May They Never Meet – Plymouth Dry gin and spruce needle tincture (served short) – £8.50
· The Willing Foe – Plymouth Sloe gin, Solerno blood orange liqueur, lemon juice, clementine and pink peppercorn soda (served long) – £9
· Absent Friends – Plymouth Navy Strength gin, homemade Christmas vermouth, Maraschino liqueur and Angostura bitters (aged in oak barrel for 14 days) – £10
· Our Ship at Sea Gin Punch – Plymouth Dry gin, red aperitif wine, Lapsang tea, lemon peel, orange slices, pineapple chunks, lemon juice, spices & brown sugar (served hot) – £10

Piotr Jedrzejewski: “The Rivington team has had great fun creating this list of winter cocktails with Plymouth ahead of Christmas, and hopefully guests will see that we’ve really pushed the boat out. The tree is up and all the gifts are sparkling under the lights, so we can’t wait for people to come down to kick off the festive season.”

Tamara Knights, Brand Manager of Plymouth Gin comments: “Piotr has done a fantastic job of infusing Plymouth Gin with the spirit of Christmas with some truly beautiful cocktails – the pairing of Plymouth with a spruce needle tincture is a personal favourite. Everyone at Plymouth Gin wishes all Rivington Shoreditch customers a truly memorable Christmas.”
