Did you know? The classic martini gained popularity in the late 19th century and is often associated with James Bond, who famously ordered his martinis "shaken, not stirred". On the other hand, the Pornstar Martini, created in London in 2002, has experienced a meteoric rise in popularity across bars worldwide, proving that sometimes a playful drink can engage and excite like no other!
