Celebrate World Martini Day with a Nine Tines Vodka - a classic British serve made from Yorkshire potatoes

It’s World Martini Day and if you’re planning to raise a glass to the classic serve, the award-winning Nine Tines Vodka - made in North Yorkshire from potatoes grown in its rich soil - has a recipe worth celebrating with.

The classic Martini is thought to have originated back in the late 1800s, evolving from the Martinez and made from gin and vermouth. As the ratios were adjusted and an olive was added, the Dry Martini - as we know it today - was born.

Vodka can also be used instead of the original-recipe gin, allowing for a smoother and more modern taste - and Nine Tines - a premium, small-batch and award-winning vodka created in England from North Yorkshire potatoes - has the perfect recipe

Nines Martini

"Simply add 75ml of Nine Tines Vodka and 15ml of dry vermouth to a well-chilled martini glass, and garnish with a twist of lemon” says Richard Smith, co-founder of the brand.

“The Nine Tines Vodka Martini is crafted for those who appreciate the finer things in life. The serve is a symphony of carefully measured ingredients, precision, and timeless elegance. We will be raising a glass to World Martini Day with this incredible cocktail that embodies its true essence.”

If you prefer to experiment with your martini recipes, or prefer a sweeter serve, Nine Tines Vodka has also created recipes for an Espresso Martini, and a decadent Chocolate Martini.

Created from field to bottle within nine miles, Nine Tines is an award-winning small-batch premium vodka celebrating the humble potato - and it tastes smooth, satisfying and authentic. Preferring a less-trodden path, Collaboration Spirits - owned by two families - does not use mass-produced grain spirit as its foundation. Instead, they start from scratch and place potatoes centre stage, using the finest examples lovingly grown in the lush and fertile lands of glorious North Yorkshire.
