Sip In Style At This Must-Try London Martini Experience
Is there anything more effortlessly chic than ordering a gin martini at a bar? We think not. This timeless cocktail has captivated an array of icons, from the silver screen siren Sophia Loren to legendary crooner Frank Sinatra, and of course, everyone’s favourite spy, James Bond. Yet, for all its glamour, the martini can feel a touch intimidating, especially for newcomers. How many olives are too many olives? Should you opt for dirty, shaken, or stirred? And what exactly does “with a twist” mean?

Best for beginners: The No.3 London Dry Gin Martini Fitting Experience
For those who’ve always found the martini a little daunting, this is a must-book summer event. The immersive experience has been created to not only educate but also inspire and take a playful and fun twist on the art of drinking the martini.
Drawing inspiration from the esteemed tailors of London’s St. James’s Street – conveniently neighbours of No.3 London Dry Gin – this experience reimagines the bespoke fitting, but for your perfect martini rather than a suit. Guided by the Martini Tailor, each guest will individually delve into the magic behind every great martini, meticulously exploring elements from dilution and method to ratio and garnish.
The result? Your ultimate made-to-measure serve, crafted precisely to your taste. Armed with that invaluable knowledge, you’ll be able to confidently order a martini at your next cocktail bar visit, or expertly craft one at home for your next dinner party.
Details: Daily 90-minute sessions at 12pm, 2pm, and 4pm, from June 17th to 21st.
