Australian aperitif producer Regal Rogue has given the classic Dripping Wet Martini a lower-alcohol twist for World Martini Day.

Few cocktails have achieved the cultural status of the martini. A fixture of cocktail culture for decades, the iconic serve has even earned its own day, with World Martini Day to be celebrated this year on Saturday, 20 June 2026.

Regal Rogue vermouth is a great way to add a local spin on the cocktail. For the lower ABV curious and those who indulge in the saltier things in life, its updated version of the classic Dripping Wet Martini spotlights the savoury, umami-driven character of its Daring Dry vermouth.

Whether served ice cold with classic Crystal Head vodka or infused with delicate botanicals from Ukiyo’s Gin offerings, Regal Rogue’s Martini recipe its a great way to celebrate the day.
