MARTHA LADY SITWELL

INTRODUCING LADY MARTHA'S GIN

An Icon of Modern Martini Culture.

PREORDER

MEET MARTHA SITWELL

Lady Martha Sitwell is a writer, actress, model and passionate advocate for timeless style, entertaining and British craftsmanship. Known for her love of classic martinis and elegant cocktail culture, she brings together creativity, sophistication and a sense of occasion in everything she does.

Alongside Martha was Hecate, her beloved magpie and faithful companion. Famous for stealing olives whenever a martini appeared, Hecate became an inseparable part of Martha's life. Although no longer with us, her playful spirit lives on. The bottle's illustration pays tribute to her enduring love of olives and the joy she brought to every gathering.

Working closely with Downton Distillery, Lady Martha helped shape a gin designed specifically for the perfect martini. Crisp, refined and subtly spiced, it captures the glamour of the Art Deco era while celebrating modern British distilling.

Elegance, Bottled

Anyone who knows Lady Martha knows she possesses an effortless elegance that cannot be imitated. Beneath that grace lies remarkable resilience, but she wears it lightly, choosing optimism, generosity and humour instead.

Her style has become legendary among family and friends. Vintage fashion is not a statement for her. It is simply who she is.

That timeless approach inspired Lady Martha's Gin. Every detail, from the Art Deco label to the bottle itself, celebrates the glamour, craftsmanship and cocktail culture of an era that Martha continues to embody with remarkable authenticity.
