Bethany Whymark, 17 June 2021 - City A.M.: Where to enjoy a Martini in London for World Martini Day
"The Martini is universally exalted. It’s subject of countless quotes and lore from Ernest Hemingway to Dorothy Parker; it’s a tool of politicians from Roosevelt to Churchill and even served to Stalin at Yalta; and it was lent yet more glamour from being the tipple of choice of Ian Fleming’s best known character. It even became a kind of shorthand for the Madison Avenue lifestyle in the 60s and 70s in the infamous 'three martini lunch'."
Julian Vallis, 17 June 2021 - The Gin Cooperative: Celebrating World Martini Day

And although the correct method is indeed ‘stirred not shaken’, the Martini cocktail and all its siblings – the vesper, the gibson, the breakfast and the dirty, along with countless variations and takes – is cocktail royalty."
