Forget the fear of feeling like a fumbling fool at your next fancy dinner! Imagine holding your drink with effortless grace, swirling it with the confidence of a connoisseur, and then taking a sip that screams sophistication. Glass etiquette, once a mystery, is about to become your secret weapon. So raise your glass (the right way, of course) and let's learn how to truly master the sip.
Hold it Right: Ditch the awkward grip! Pinch the stem of a wine glass to avoid warming the drink. For cocktails, a relaxed hold on the lower glass is perfect.
Swirl for Flavor: That swirling motion isn't just fancy. It releases the aromas trapped in your wine, enhancing your taste experience. A gentle swirl for a few seconds is all you need.
Sip with Finesse: Small sips are key! Savor the flavors by taking them across your tongue. For some drinks, a single sip from a designated spot on the rim keeps things classy.
Now go forth and sip with confidence!

Elevate Your Drinking Experience with the Perfect Whiskey Glasses
Drinking glasses play a crucial role in enhancing the enjoyment of our favorite beverages, including whiskey. Whether you're savoring a fine single malt or mixing up a classic cocktail, the right glassware can elevate the experience to new heights.
When it comes to whiskey, the choice of glassware can make a significant difference in aroma, flavor, and overall enjoyment. Traditional whiskey glasses, such as tumblers or rocks glasses, offer a classic and versatile option for enjoying whiskey neat or on the rocks. The wide mouth of these glasses allows for easy nosing, while their sturdy base provides stability.
For those who prefer a more sophisticated presentation, Glencairn glasses are a popular choice among whiskey enthusiasts. With their tulip-shaped design and tapered rim, Glencairn glasses concentrate the aromas of the whiskey, enhancing the tasting experience.
No matter your preference, investing in quality whiskey glasses can enhance your drinking experience and add a touch of elegance to any occasion. Cheers to enjoying whiskey the way it was meant to be enjoyed – in the perfect glass! #LinkedIn#hired#job#whiskeys

THE POWER OF PROVOCATION
I really appreciated Charlotte Mair's article shining a light on Douglas Ankrah and his creation of the Pornstar Martini. It’s amazing to see how his bold, inventive approach shaped the cocktail world—and honestly, it’s a drink that’s impossible to ignore!
But beyond its playful, provocative name, it sparks an important conversation about branding and the use of shock value.
When we rolled out the campaign to rename the Pornstar Martini as the Passion Star Martini for Pernod Ricard a while back, I saw how much power a name can hold. Some loved it for its audacity, while others—especially empowered women—questioned why they’d order a drink with such a provocative label.
This tension between edgy branding and inclusivity is something that remains relevant today. It made me think: as brands, are we still drawn to names that shock, or is there a smarter way to connect with people without alienating them?
FCUK grabbed plenty of attention back in the day, and Slutty Vegan is still turning heads with its brand attitude.
But the real test is staying relevant. In one of our campaigns for Ping Pong, we used humour with 'Don’t Give a Shitake' campaign, and it worked because it resonated on a deeper level—it wasn’t just about the shock factor.
That campaign lasted for over eight years, and still going strong, showing that edgy branding can have real staying power when done right. Now it's become the brand signature.
As the Pornstar Martini continues to inspire conversation, I think the bigger question is: do provocative names still work today?
Are they empowering, or do they risk turning people off?
It’s a fine balance, and one that’s worth thinking about as we move toward a more inclusive branding landscape.

What would we do without the Pornstar Martini?
Invented in London in 2002 by Douglas Ankrah, this drink redefined cocktail culture.
In the early 2000s, Ankrah was working as a bartender and was experimenting with flavours and ingredients.
It led to the birth of this iconic blend of vanilla vodka, passion fruit,
And a shot of bubbly on the side, of course.
The iconic drink was originally called the Maverick Martini.
But Ankrah realised the name didn’t quite capture the spirit of the drink.
He wanted something catchy and exciting.
A name that exemplified the three things an ideal bar scene should be.
Bold. Sexy. Playful.
After being given its iconic name, the Pornstar Martini’s rise to fame was meteoric.
And what followed was nothing short of a cocktail revolution.
From high-end cocktail bars to mainstream pubs, it quickly became one of the most ordered drinks in the UK and spread rapidly to international markets.
In fact, it gained such a cult following that it consistently ranks high on global lists of the most popular cocktails.
In the 2020s, the Pornstar Martini remained one of the most-searched-for cocktails on social media,
Its signature presentation further fueled its success on Instagram feeds and stories - the golden liquid, garnished with half a passion fruit, served alongside a sparkling shot.
(Admit it, we’ve all shared a pic of our cocktail on the Ig story before. 😂)
Now, it’s one of the most ordered cocktails worldwide (and one of my all-time faves).
