Martini is one of Alice’s favourite drinks – “one that’s bewitched bartenders, artists, authors, filmmakers and barflies for more than a century”.

You will learn about the best Martini to pair with oysters; explore variations infused with olive oil, shiso and jasmine tea; find out why your most important tool is your freezer; and the real reason James Bond likes a shaken, not stirred, Martini.

Her recently published, best-selling book, ‘The Martini: The Ultimate Guide to a Cocktail Icon’ was declared “positively paradigmatic” by Nigella Lawson.

Alice writes a regular column in the Financial Times about wine, spirits and bar culture, and can often be found talking about drinks on BBC Radio 4 and on the TV. 

Her articles and columns have also appeared in The Times, The Economist, Wired, Monocle, Vice, Food & Wine, Noble Rot and many trade and specialist publications including the authoritative Oxford Companion to Spirits & Cocktails.
