Stanley Tucci and Tanqueray No.TEN unveil limited-edition pre-batched martinis for World Martini Day

Stanley Tucci and Tanqueray No.TEN unveil limited-edition pre-batched martinis for World Martini Day

Tanqueray No.TEN, in partnership with actor Stanley Tucci, is marking World Martini Day on 21st June 2025 with the release of a limited batch of pre-mixed martini cocktails delivered directly to selected recipients’ homes across the UK. The initiative aims to bring bar-quality cocktails to consumers, celebrating the martini’s cultural significance.

The announcement was made on 20th June via a video posted to Stanley Tucci’s Instagram account. In the video, Tucci revealed he had prepared an excess of pre-batched martinis and invited his followers to contact him for a chance to receive one of the exclusive bottles. Thirty recipients will be chosen to receive a package containing a pre-batched No.TEN martini cocktail, a can of Manzanilla olives, Tanqueray No.TEN glassware, and a personal note signed by Tucci.

The campaign is designed to allow consumers to “experience the excellence and artistry of Tanqueray No. TEN as the ultimate cocktail ingredient from the comfort of their homes this World Martini Day,” according to Charlotte Gibbon, Category Director for Gins, Pimm’s, Baileys and Alcohol Free at Diageo GB. Gibbon added, “We are delighted once again to have the ultimate connoisseur of taste Stanley Tucci to lead the charge in inspiring audiences to elevate at-home hosting.”

Stanley Tucci, who has served as a Global Brand Partner for Tanqueray No.TEN, commented, “What I admire about Tanqueray No. TEN are the gin’s pioneering levels of elegance and excellence; two of the qualities I aspire to when hosting any event of my own.”

Tanqueray No.TEN is produced in small batches, using whole citrus fruits such as grapefruits, limes, and oranges, alongside botanicals including chamomile. The gin is distilled in the brand’s signature “Tiny Ten” copper still, giving it a distinctive citrus-forward profile.

For those interested in recreating the experience at home, Tucci shared his freezer batch martini recipe: 425ml Tanqueray No.TEN, 100ml vermouth, and 175ml mineral water, combined in a 700ml bottle and stored in the freezer before serving. Tanqueray No.TEN was named ‘Bartenders’ Choice’ in the 2025 Annual Brands Report by Drinks International.
