World Martini Day: Shaken or stirred! Follow these simple recipes and make your own cocktail

The martini is a cocktail made of gin and vermouth, and garnished with an olive or a lemon twist. Martinis have become a symbol of glamour and sophistication. June 19 is celebrated as World Martini Day.

Don’t like the idea of olives in your drink? Just have more of them, and you’ll not be able to say no to them. After the third, you’ll be merry a hell and waltzing about, pretending you’re James Bond.

It is a great excuse to enjoy one of the world’s most popular cocktails (whether shaken or stirred), and what better twist than to make your martini with an iconic brand like Belvedere Vodka.
