Gin Guide: The Martini

Whether you fancy one olive, ten olives, a lemon twist, or a cocktail onion, the martini brims with endless possibilities. But at its core, a martini is predominantly gin (or vodka, but let’s be honest, we’re all about the gin...), with just a splash of vermouth. So, it's no secret that the magic lies in selecting the perfect gin, because let's face it, there's no room to hide in a martini. 

Consider us self-proclaimed experts in the field, as we've meticulously curated our gin selection to suit every martini preference. Here are some of our top picks: 

Known as the world's sexiest drink, the dirty martini adds a tangy twist to tradition. For this sultry sip, we turn to Four Pillars Olive Leaf Gin. Bursting with bright and savoury notes, this gin features cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil and olive leaf tea sourced from the prestigious groves of Victoria's Cobram Estate. It's the perfect complement to the olive garnish. And if you're anything like our Head of Operations Brit, no less than eleven olives will suffice (because who wouldn't want a glass of olives with a side of gin and vermouth?).
