Menai Martini
Clean, elegant and distinctly coastal, the Menai Martini pairs our Menai Oyster Gin with a touch of dry vermouth for a beautifully chilled serve that allows the gin's subtle salinity, juniper and citrus character to shine.

How to Make a Menai Martini
Chill a Martini or coupe glass while you prepare the cocktail.
Add the Menai Oyster Gin and dry vermouth to a mixing glass filled generously with ice.
Stir gently for around 20–30 seconds until the drink is thoroughly chilled and lightly diluted.
Strain into the chilled glass.
Express a strip of fresh lemon peel over the surface of the cocktail, then add it as the garnish.
The Perfect Serve
Menai Oyster Gin
Menai Oyster Gin is our distinctive Welsh coastal gin, created in collaboration with Menai Oysters and distilled in small batches here on Ynys Môn.
Fresh Menai oysters bring a subtle maritime character and exceptionally smooth, rounded mouthfeel rather than an overt seafood flavour. Classic juniper and bright citrus keep the gin crisp and balanced.
The restrained Menai Martini is designed to showcase exactly that character. A small measure of dry vermouth softens and lengthens the gin, while the lemon oils highlight its clean citrus finish.
