DIRTY MARTINI
As iconic as cocktails come, the Martini is perhaps the most recognised cocktail in the world but despite its simplicity, it's also one of the most misunderstood.
It's the namesake of brands, glassware and countless other cocktails and is served in just as many different ways. Although traditionally made with gin, all styles of martini can be made with Vodka too. A classic Martini is stirred, not shaken, whilst a Vesper Martini is the one that is shaken.
