Shaken & Starred
When ordering a Martini cocktail you usually get asked if you’d like it ‘shaken’ or ‘stirred’. But why not have both? With our ‘Shaken & Starred’, we shake our Star of Bombay along with quality cubed ice & Bergamot Liqueur then stir in the MARTINI Rosato Vermouth afterwards to create the perfect dilution for the cocktail.

Bartender top tips
The ‘Shaken & Starred’ cocktail is controversial on many levels, but we love nothing more than to break convention. Just because something has been done one way for years doesn’t mean it needs to stay that way. In a bar you would usually ask for your Martini cocktail to be either shaken or stirred (remember that classic James Bond line) but why not have both? Because it works…
