If you know anything about us, you’ll know we love us a Martini. So with National Martini Day coming up on Thursday 19th June, followed by World Martini Day on Saturday 21st June, it would be rude of us not to give a little nod to our signature drink.
With that in mind, we’ve picked out two very different bases for our Martinis, we go high proof with Beluga Gold Line Vodka and low – not in quality, but volume – with Second Sip, a new, recently released 20% abv gin created very much with sessional Martinis in mind by industry stalwarts Leo Robitschek and Nick Strangeway.

‘Make Mine A Martini – 130 cocktails and canapés for fabulous parties’ by Kay Plunkett-Hogge, is our book choice and, thankfully, it does exactly what it says on the tin. That’s if you’re staying in… if you’re going out, we can’t recommend the seven-strong Martini List at Twenty8 NoMad in London highly enough.
In the hotseat, we have Tibor Krascsenics, group beverage director at LPM Dubai. He gives us the lowdown on the brand new, extremely stylish cocktail menu, conceived and perfectly presented as a glossy fashion magazine as well as sharing his tip for the perfect Martini.
