Martinis. We can’t get enough of them. Wet, dry, extra dirty, Gibson, you name it. In fact, we love this drink so much, we went and made ourselves a gin that makes, we humbly believe, the most perfect Martini in the books: Olive Leaf Gin.  

And to celebrate this magnificent drink, we’re bringing the Martini Collective back for a second year with a new city involved. The Martini Collective is a group of some of our favourite restaurants across Sydney and Melbourne who will be serving up a Mini Martini with a matching snack of their choice (at outstanding value!) for the whole of May.  

Designed to order and enjoy as you peruse the menu, the Mini Martini is the drink to drink when you’re deciding what to drink.

From Wednesday 1 May to Sunday 2 June, you can head to any of the below venues for a perfectly sized Mini Martini paired with a unique and delicious snack. Think sea urchin pastry tartlet (available at AALIA) and crumbed almond and anchovy-stuffed olive served on a skewer with an anchovy and piquillo pepper (Cutler & Co.). 

If that's not the most delicious way to start your night out, we don't know what is
