World Martini Day

World Martini Day is celebrated on June 15th every year, and it's a day to indulge in the classic cocktail that has been a staple of sophistication and glamour for decades. The origins of the Martini date back to the late 19th century, when a bartender named Jerry Thomas created the drink at the Knickerbocker Hotel in New York City. The original recipe consisted of gin, vermouth, and an orange twist, but over time, the Martini has evolved to include a variety of flavor profiles and garnishes. Today, the Martini is enjoyed in countless variations, from sweet and dirty to dry and extra-dry.

To celebrate World Martini Day, you can try out some new recipes and techniques. For a classic Martini, use a ratio of 3:1 or 4:1 gin to vermouth, and garnish with a green olive or a lemon twist. If you prefer a Dirty Martini, add a splash of olive brine for a salty kick. For a more adventurous twist, try using different types of spirits, such as vodka or rum, or experimenting with unique flavor combinations like lavender and honey or basil and lemon. Whatever your style, World Martini Day is the perfect excuse to get creative and raise a glass to this iconic cocktail. So grab your shaker and get mixing – it's time to celebrate the Martini!
