GREY GOOSE has long been synonymous with exceptional quality, thanks to its commitment to using only the finest ingredients and a meticulous, 100% traceable production process.
Distilled and bottled in France, Grey Goose vodka remains true to its roots, with a recipe and process that has stayed unchanged since its inception, and it’s still just made from two premium ingredients: single-origin Picardie wheat and spring water that’s sourced from the natural limestone well in Gensac-la-Pallue.
Grey Goose’s Tiny ‘Tini’
With this dedication to quality, it’s only natural to craft a Grey Goose martini with this beloved nectar, especially as the vodka martini makes its stylish comeback. Blending bartender creativity with timeless elegance, and embracing the ongoing ‘Martineissance,’ Grey Goose has introduced the Tiny ‘Tini.
As the name suggests, it’s a mini martini that’s been designed to be approachable while tapping into the growing trends of moderation, flavour exploration, and accessible luxury, and with Mother’s Day on the horizon, it proves the opportune moment to whip some up at home.
On its appeal, Lexa Ulijaszek, UK Ambassador for Grey Goose, says, “When it comes to the vodka martini cocktail, size does matter for some. Sometimes a full-sized martini cocktail can be a little bit too intimidating. Or over the course of great conversation between friends, the final sip of your drink may not be as superbly chilled or balanced in taste as the beginning. As a result, the offer of a ‘sip-sized cocktail’ is gaining traction across many of the UK’s most influential bars.”
A trend that’s gaining popularity across the UK, Lexa shares, “The trend is very much a UK-wide affair, with some of the best bars across Manchester, Edinburgh and London all serving the Grey Goose Tiny ‘Tini – ushering in a brand new and bold ‘sip-sized’ era for the vodka martini cocktail.”
One of which is London EDITION’s Lobby Bar, Anthony Callegari, the Bars Manager there, says, “The Grey Goose Tiny ‘Tini is a perfect reflection of today’s cocktail culture where less is more, and balance is everything. We’re seeing a growing demand for smaller, high-quality serves that deliver all the flavour and sophistication of a classic martini cocktail, without the intimidation.
The Grey Goose Tiny ‘Tini distils this trend into a refined, elegant serve that is crafted with precision, packed with flavour, and perfect for any occasion.” Here, try three variations of the mini cocktail, including a savoury take with clarified tomato water and spiced basil oil, and are available until the end of April.
As the vodka martini continues its revival, the Tiny ‘Tini is proving that this beloved cocktail is as versatile and vibrant as ever, offering a modern take on a timeless drink for today’s discerning cocktail lovers, and here’s how to make it at home.
