Shaken, stirred, or splashed with something completely unhinged — martinis have gone rogue, and honestly, we’re not mad about it.
The classic gin-and-vermouth duo may have set the stage, but TikTok’s wildest mixologists have rewritten the script. Think blue cheese brine, salt and vinegar tang, and even dirty martini dips (yes, dips) taking happy hour from classy to chaotic in all the right ways.
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.
