Martini Chat - Martini Recipes & Cocktail Culture

Welcome to 2010. Thanks to all of our loyal customers and visitors - the holiday season was off the hook.

2010 promises to be a year of positive change for martiniart.com. We are working on a fresh new design and a ton of cool features that will make your martini sipping even more enjoyable (if you can believe that)...

Sorry for the delay in posting - its been a crazy busy holiday season, and we'd like to thank all of our awesome customers and everyone that stopped in to browse.

Regardless of what you do (or do not) celebrate - we wish you all a happy, healthy...everything.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy TG to all of our friends, family and fellow martini lovers.

The martiniart.com crew are enjoying the downtime today - enjoying some chillout time. Its 1:30pm EST and we are already doing some martini sampling. We've got guests stopping by all day - and (ironically), every one is demanding a little taste of something new.

On another note, we jumped the gun last week with our Cyber Monday and Cyber Tuesday specials - we launched them a week early. Well, part 2 is coming up. On Monday we'll be featuring free shipping on all orders within the contiguous USA, on Tuesday, we'll be giving away a $5 gift certificate with every order.

Stop by an get that martini gift shopping done!

Cyber Monday and Tuesday

Our Cyber Monday special is posted at martiniart.com - we are offering free UPS Ground shipping on every order shipping within the contiguous USA. 24 hours only!

At midnight tonight - the special changes...stay tuned!

Want to start that holiday martini gift shopping? Its a great time.

Cyber Monday is coming - are you holiday shopping?

Word on the street is that online shopping is going to come close to eclipsing mall traffic.

Once in a while, the hustle and bustle of the mall is fun - and you certainly get the immediate gratification of touching, feeling, smelling, buying and taking home your purchase.

Although the shopping gratification is not immediate - online shopping is convenient, safe, abundant - and you can shop 24/7 from the comfort of your home.

Monday 11/23/2009 is "Cyber Monday" - the official kickoff of the online holiday shopping rush. We're ready to go - stop by MartiniArt.com on Cyber Monday and Cyber Tuesday for some very cool special deals.

If you need some tasty martini recipes for the holiday season, we've got you covered. Check out these contest winning martini recipes.

Cheers!

Yes - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy stopped by...

On 9/20 we hosted a swanky cocktail party (actually it was quite casual) after the BBVD show in Tecumseh, Michigan. We were so happy that some of the band stopped by to mingle and sip some martinis! Fantastic show and great to meet these talented and very nice folks. Check out a cool photo of the event.

Hendrick's Gin revisited - this stuff rocks

I do enjoy a gin martini now and again...but MartiniGuy is a big fan of vodka. That being said, this weekend was all about experimentation with Hendrick's - and again, I am reminded why this stuff is magical.

If you've never sipped this gin, you need to run right out and find a bottle now - immediately. No worries, I'll wait until you return...

Cool, welcome back.

Hendrick's is produced in small batches, distilled in Ayrshire, Scotland. While every gin is unique (ok, most are unique) in their infusion ingredients - Hendrick's departs from the usual "heavy in juniper" flavoring standard.

Best described as cucumber, rose petals & a hint of burnt orange - this gin amazingly smooth and lends itself well to a freezing martini. Enhance the flavoring with a simple cucumber slice garnish and you'll be enjoying the perfect martini.

No wonder we awarded Hendrick's Gin a 5 out of 5 olive rating at martiniart.com - take a look at our review.

Now, shake up a martini with Hendrick's! You can thank me later.

Cheers.
