Celebrate Martini Day this June 19th with a local twist on a classic!
No gin cocktail is more iconic than the Martini, made famous by the likes of James Bond and Sir Winston Churchill. Shaken or stirred there isn’t much of a difference, unless you’re trying to look cool. Spotting a classic Martini is easy, the clarity and two olives are the giveaway in this spirit forward cocktail.
Here’s one with a bit of a homegrown twist… an easy to mix Cape Town Gin Martini.
