Martini print | $59 | Printed Canvas

On a recent holiday I was introduced to the delights of the classic martini. (How I have managed to get to the age of 33 without meeting this classic cocktail earlier I do not know!)  So last Sunday, filled with holiday memories and with a guest to entertain, we got ourselves some proper martini glasses and a cocktail shaker.  Add some gin, vermouth and a decent serve of green olives and you have a fine way to pass a Sunday afternoon!

Stocking the home bar may indeed be a further step down the ever slippery slope, but it does give me another category of things to search for on Etsy – Hurrah!  So, for your bar, for your walls and for your next cocktail party (remember, one can never overdress) I do hope you enjoy these martini-inspired Etsy finds.

PS.  Warning – the martini packs a punch!  It’s all killer and no filler!  And yes, I know martinis kind of ooze class and sophistication, but by cocktail number three you won’t be oozing either of those, so “Enjoy responsibly” as they say…

PS.  Hello – me again!  If you like these picks, you might want to have a look at the martini o’clock treasury I’ve put together. Lots more retro cocktail fun there!
