Martini has teamed up with fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana to bring some high glamour to the vermouth market with the creation of Martini Gold.

Ingredients include bergamot, Sicilian lemon and orange, saffron, myrrh, cubeb and ginger, and the result is a rather nice combination of mouthwatering savoury, almost briney notes, deeply aromatic incense and sweet citrus.

Signature serves include over ice with two blackberries and a slice of ginger, or served up with Grey Goose vodka and a black olive. The accompanying ad campaign stars Monica Belucci – anything that gets more people ordering vermouth is a good thing, we reckon.
