Cider
Really traditional devon scrumpy scrumpy being the name for farm cider looks like bright orange juice with bits of apple floating in it. it is made using devon apples, cider mills and cider presses. traditionally, scrumpy was made using the wind fall apples. they would be bruised, and not suitable for eating or cooking. however a windfall apple is just right for scrumpy, they would not be quite ripe, so would be sharper and drier. they would have impurities from the ground, which helped fermentation. scrumpy tends to be quite strong in alcohol and requires a certain degree of caution if you aren't used to drinking it it can act as a laxative.
Beer

Gin
Plymouth original strength gin is 41.2% alcohol by volume. it has a distinctively different, slightly less dry flavour than the much more commonly available london dry gin, as it contains a higher than usual proportion of root ingredients, which bring a more 'earthy' feel to the gin, as well as a smoother juniper hit. there is also a 'navy strength' variety available which is 57% alcohol by volume 100â° english proof, being the traditional strength demanded by the british royal navy as this was the proof that would not prevent gunpowder from igniting, should it be compromised by spilled spirit
