Grey Goose unveils 25 luxury crystal Martini kits

Grey Goose vodka has channelled the image of James Bond for its limited edition crystal Martini kit created in collaboration with French crystal-maker Baccarat.

Only 25 luxury Grey Goose crystal Martini kits will be available in the US for one week in December

However, as opposed to adopting Bond’s penchant for a “shaken, not stirred” Martini, the brand claim that a perfect vodka Martini should always be stirred.

The classic Martini set, which carries an RRP of US$475, contains a branded aluminum case, two Baccarat Vega branded martini glasses, two Grey Goose olive picks, one Cocktail Kingdom Hoffman Bar Spoon, one Cocktail Kingdom Leopold Jigger, one Cocktail Kingdom AH hawthorne strainer and one stainless steel mixing cup.

“When you shake a Martini with ice it gives the vodka a grainy texture because of the and ice crystals that are introduced, as opposed to silky textured when simply stirred with ice,” said Grey Goose brand master Jason Druckenmiller.

“Stirring creates less dilution and will chill the Martini down just as good as shaking leaving the crisp taste of Grey Goose Vodka with undertones of Noilly Prat Extra Dry Vermouth.”

Only 25 kits will be available to purchase between 2 December and 9 December in the US from luxury lifestyle website Gilt City.
