Who are all the people who are always asking for a Beefeater Martini?

Each year, you hear more and more people ask for a Beefeater Martini rather than just a martini. Why do they do it? Why do they willingly pay more for Beefeater?

Some people think it’s «in», or smart, or sophisticated to specify Beefeater. They may be faddists in the beginning. But Beefeater devotees in the end!

Why? Well, let’s face it, Beefeater does taste better. It’s dry. Extremely dry. It has a delicate bouquet. A certain softness. You know, people do drink martinis for the sheer joy of drinking them. These are the people who are always asking for Beefeater.

Which proves what we’ve been saying all along. That London distilled Beefeater Gin has it all over the domestic varieties. Incidentally, watch out for gin that labels itself «London dry». That doesn’t mean it comes from London.

In the case of Beefeater, though, London is the only possible place it could come from. Because only in the Lambeth section of London will you find the old family distillery where Beefeater is produced according to a closely guarded recipe—the same one used by James Burrough way back in 1820.

In all these years, no one has been able to duplicate Beefeater’s delicacy and dryness. And chances are, no one ever will.

About The Blog

The latter group are often referred to as “mixologists,” a term given to practitioners of “mixology,” which is really just another way of referring to the practice of making good cocktails. Mixology might seem like a newfangled term, but it’s actually pretty old, like mid-19th century old, and was only revived as a way to describe the recent renaissance of bartenders caring (a lot) about their craft.
