PAIRING a martini with chips has become a cult favourite and McCains has celebrated this with a special event to mark World Martini Day, which took place on June 20th.
Ahead of the event, it launched Chip Martini, a playful twist on the classic cocktail, at Nightjar, a prohibition-style speakeasy venue in London, famed for its lavish vintage cocktails, garnishes, and live jazz, blues, and swing music.
The Chip Martini is crafted with potato vodka made from British Maris Piper potatoes (the same variety used in McCain chips) and finished with a signature French fry garnish.
World Martini Day is an annual global celebration of the iconic martini cocktail. Taking place on the third Saturday in June, it encourages mixology enthusiasts and cocktail bars worldwide to honor the classic mix of gin (or vodka) and vermouth, whether shaken, stirred, dirty, or dry.
The Chip Martini was available from June 17th to 21st, mixing potato vodka with dry vermouth, finished with a French fry garnish and served alongside a portion of McCain Crispy French Fries.
