"What’s cooler than being cool? Ice cold, baby. And that’s exactly what the martinis at Dukes are all about. That and the fact they contain five shots of gin. The old-school hotel bar in St James’s is world-renowned for its sucker-punch martini, but they’re far from quantity over quality. Everything is stored in the freezer and drinks are prepared tableside with a flourish. Frosty glasses are given a theatrical vermouth rinse, gin is dramatically poured from a height, and a strip of Amalfi lemon skin is peeled and twisted over the glass." - jake missing, daisy meager
