Celebrate World Gin Day with Chilled 100 Bartenders and Plymouth Gin
World Gin Day is June 14th. Celebrate this year’s appreciation of all things gin with our Chilled 100 Bartenders who create incredibly delicious cocktails that honor Plymouth Gin.
“Inspired by the rich history of Plymouth Gin, I set out to craft a cocktail that would pay tribute to the distillery’s legacy and reflect its iconic colors. I’m thrilled to collaborate with Chilled 100 on the Plymouth Gin Project, creating a unique cocktail with the exceptional @plymouthgin just in time for World Gin Day! My goal was to design a cocktail that not only honors the brand’s storied past but also incorporates ingredients that perfectly complement the gin, resulting in a refreshing drink to enjoy in the warmth of June.”

“Created especially for World Gin Day, Verdine Dream is a lush, garden-inspired frozen cocktail. The name nods to its verdant ingredients—mint, matcha, chartreuse, and the beautiful botanicals used in Plymouth Gin and a dreamy, dairy-free whipped topping. This frozen cocktail pairs perfectly with enjoying warmer weather on a patio with friends.”

“Gin and citrus go hand in hand—so when I saw kumquats, my favorite and sadly underutilized citrus option, at my grocery store, I had to snag some. If you can’t find them, you can substitute tangerines or oranges. The pleasingly peppery notes of Plymouth Gin are complemented by the tangy kumquat. Honey and apricot enrich the earthy and herbal tones of Plymouth Gin, while tart lemon adds a vibrancy to the cocktail, and lifts the coriander and cardamom of the Plymouth. This is a cocktail that I would indulge in at any time of day. But I believe it’s best suited for the Golden Hour—that last hour before the sun has fully set. An hour to say goodbye to the day and welcome what the night has in store.”
Preparation
In a shaker tin, combine all ingredients.
Add ice and shake to chill and combine, for about 12-15 seconds.
Double strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled and prepared Nick & Nora glass.
Rim a portion of the glass with an Apricot and Peach infused sugar/salt blend: 8:1 ratio—combine granulated sugar with fine pink Himalayan salt.
Add sugar/salt blend to a sealable container and add dried apricot and peach slices.
Seal and let infuse for 4 days, agitating the container occasionally.
Remove dried fruits.
Store salt/sugar blend in a sealed container until ready to use.
*Kumquat-Honey Oleo
Ingredients
55 grams Kumquats, sliced thinly
45 grams local Wildflower Honey
Preparation
Combine 55 grams Kumquats, sliced very thin and 45 grams local Wildflower Honey in a sealed container and let sit for at least 4 hours but overnight is better.
Stir well and pour through a fine mesh strainer.
Store liquid in a sealed container in the fridge until ready to use.
“The earthiness of Plymouth Gin is one of many flavor notes that make it a unique ingredient for delicious cocktails. A less juniper-forward gin with pops of citrus makes Plymouth an amazing bedfellow to other earthy/root botanical spirits. I’ve created a White Negroni-esque cocktail that doubles down on earthiness, bringing the flavors and scents of freshly fallen rain on dry rock and soil- a uniquely familiar experience to those who live in the desert. Complementing Plymouth Gin are Salers Aperitif, and two desert distillates, Mezcal and Sotol. A chamomile-infused Cocchi Americano rounds out the experience with a warming lemon-tea component that’s perfect for porch sipping during a crimson sunset of the Southwest.”

“A Voyage in a Glass: Set your sights on adventure with Gone Sailin’! Like a crisp ocean breeze filling the sails, this cocktail captures the spirit of exploration and excitement.
