Scurvy Gin Navy Strength
Best Served
Great in a G&T with a good tonic, Fever-Tree Mediteranenan or Peter Spanton No 5 Lemongrass and Ginger, but knock-out in a Negroni with a bar-spoon of olive brine. Why not fix yourself that noblest of cocktails, the Gimlet and enjoy a piece of naval history.
Navy Strength
Gin at 57% abv traces its roots to either the “proof” of strength to avoid being swindled with watered down gin (gunpowder, sparked into gin at this strength would stay lit), or perhaps from the fact that, if spilled on gunpowder, the cannons would still fire. Either way, scurvy grass, gin and the Royal Navy are inseparable in history.
Born in Tintagel. Born to be enjoyed.
