Verve causes a stir with the ever smooth Martini

Let me fix you a Martini that is pure magic. It may not make life's problems disappear but it'll certainly reduce their size...." Frank Sinatra's famous lines (Some Came Running) immortalised the drink in celluloid history. Shaken or stirred, Montgomery or Winston, pink or clear, dry or sweet…you're a party pooper without one. Sit back, cross your stiletto-clad legs and take elated sips of the only drink with a split personality.

Often named after mistresses of espionage agents, loyally partaken by the writer of The Old Man And The Sea, it can be sweet, it could be sour…maybe even spicy. Each sip tells a story, each sip whispers secrets…. Of the creator, of memories, of all that can and could be!

Diehard loyalists insist that the only thing better than a Martini - the drink with the many faces - is two! It was a drink of the past, is a drink of the present and will flow its way down our ever willing throats into the future. Yes, it has evolved with time. The olive? That's outdated. Try a chilli instead! Why clear? Think pink! Douse it in chocolate, seduce it with pink shrimps.

Take it from Martini-lovers. Each sip is pure magic; so let yourself be captivated. Drink it smooth, drink it hard, drink it slow and steady - but we insist you drink it…and let it glide down in a waterfall of ecstasy.
