In 1911, a New York City bartender named Martini di Arma di Taggia began serving a cocktail made with gin, vermouth, orange bitters and an olive garnish. Such was its success over a century that its fans include John D Rockefeller, Humphrey Bogart, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Clark Gable, Ernest Hemingway and – the brand ambassador – James Bond. Do you like your dry martini shaken-not-stirred too?

To celebrate World Martini Day (and to educate the uninitiated who get confused about how a drink can be ‘dry’), luxury vodka brand, Belvedere presents ‘The Belvedere 007 Martini.’ In fact, Belvedere, the world’s first luxury vodka brand, is all set to celebrate the iconic drink tomorrow with special promotional events across the country at select hotels, restaurants and bars.
