Shaken, stirred, or splashed with something completely unhinged — martinis have gone rogue, and honestly, we’re not mad about it.

Suddenly, James Bond’s order feels a little… basic. From the sharp sophistication of a traditional dry martini to the campy flair of a Pornstar pour, these viral sensations have one goal: to keep you sipping, scrolling, and maybe even rethinking your cocktail repertoire. Whether you’re a cocktail purist or a flavour thrill-seeker, these recipes prove that the martini isn’t just a drink — it’s a personality trait.
