Following closely on the heels of World Gin Day, today is World Martini Day. We’ve done a number of martinis since the site was launched.

The first we did was the Classic Martini and followed it immediately after with the Vodka Martini. We took a delve into the origins of the martini by doing a Martinez, which predates the martini itself.

There are endless variations of the martini, including the Tuxedo and the Perfect Martini, which itself has variations such as the Queen’s Jubilee Martini.

There are also fruit and cream based variations of the martini, of which we have made quite a few. All the martinis we’ve made can be found here.

However, for today we have a recipe for a martini we’ve not posted as of yet. This is the Queen Martini; like the Queen’s Jubilee Martini, the Queen is a variation of the Perfect Martini which uses equal proportions of gin, dry vermouth and sweet vermouth.
