MARTINI - SHAKEN OR STIRRED?! - 22nd March 2026
Explore one of the most iconic cocktails ever created and settle the debate for yourself. In this masterclass, you’ll dive into the history and evolution of the Martini, from its early, spirit-forward roots to the crisp, modern styles we know today.
You’ll taste and compare different gin and vodka profiles, experiment with vermouth ratios, and learn how technique — shaking, stirring, chilling, and dilution — shapes the final drink. Along the way, you’ll discover why bartenders have such strong opinions about this seemingly simple cocktail.
By the end, you’ll know how to build a Martini that truly fits your palate, whether that’s silky and stirred or bold and shaken

Terms
We recognise that on occasion customers will book classes and subsequently find that they are unable to attend. In these situations, we ask that the customer notify us of their need to cancel at least three working days prior to the masterclass. If less than three days notice is given or the party fails to show up a charge of 40% of the cost of the class will be incurred.
Similarly in the unlikely event that we find it necessary to cancel an event, we are committed to taking positive steps to alert you to the cancellation as soon as possible, and where applicable a full refund will be issued. Tickets for a Masterclass may be exchanged for spaces on another masterclass, provided that there are places available. This exchange must take place at least two weeks prior to the date of the original masterclass booking, and can only be exchanged once.
