No.3 Gin and NUDE Glass Co-Design A Martini Glass Scientifically Proven To Keep Your Drink Colder For Longer
25 May 2022
June 2022: To elevate martini drinking experiences, No.3 Gin (World’s Best Gin) and NUDE (contemporary glassware brand) have collaborated to produce the perfect martini glass for luxury lifestylers.
Developed using their respective scientific and design expertise, this bespoke glass has been specially created to keep its liquid cooler for almost twice as long as a classic glass – in turn, protecting the cold, clean, smoothness of a high-quality martini. The exclusive new glassware is hand-blown from crystal and is a perfect balance of form and function, with a fine-rimmed bowl and elegantly slender stem to prevent the drink from warming. The subtle turquoise hue takes cues from and complements the No.3 bottle.
In furthering its pursuit of perfection, No.3 has been focused on creating the perfect martini – examining every detail from the glass, the garnish and of course, the mix. Its award-winning gin became a natural springboard for perfecting drinking experiences, and now the development of this new glassware is set to enhance martini moments.
Seize the chance to enjoy the glass by purchasing the limited-edition sets of 2 glasses available via NUDE, or visiting some of London’s best martini bars, who are exclusively holding this limited-edition glassware. Head to Scarfes Bar, The Aubrey at The Mandarin Oriental, or Donovan Bar at Brown's Hotel from World Martini Day, 19th June 2022.
True purveyors of quality, both No.3 Gin and NUDE are devoted to pursuing perfection and delivering something extraordinary to their customers. Deserving of its place on your dining table or drinks trolley, this limited-edition martini glass is stylish and will help deliver an exceptional cocktail experience. Visually pleasing, scientifically proven and deliciously perfect.
About The Science
Working with scientist Dr. Junfeng Yang, who specialises in mechanical engineering at University of Leeds, No.3 studied the heat transfer between plain and thick base martini glasses. A range of options were tested using computational fluid dynamics, which saw the martini stirred down over ice until chilled, each glass frozen, and then combined for testing at room temperature. As a result, the martini in a plain glass held its temperature for 3.4hours while that in a thick base glass held for 5.4hours – approximately 50% longer – paving the way for a smarter design.
About The Design
The NUDE design studio spent 10 months developing a design, testing 12 different versions before finalising the perfect glass. Every martini glass is hand blown and takes up to six hours to heat, work and cool, resulting in a unique vessel that is expertly crafted for pure perfection.

About No.3 Gin:
No.3 Gin, created by Berry Bros. & Rudd, has garnered over 30 awards for excellence since 2010. It is the only gin in the world to have been awarded World’s Best Gin four times at the International Spirits Challenge, and the first gin to have ever won the prestigious Supreme Champion Spirit award at the International Spirits Challenge 2019.
It took us two years to create our masterpiece, working with master distillers, top mixologists and Dr. David Clutton - the only person in the world to have a PhD in gin. We spent months selecting the very best botanicals to create a truly classic London Dry Gin. To meet our exacting standards, we distil our spirit and botanicals in a unique 100-year-old, brick-encased copper pot still in Holland - the home of gin. With the best ingredients, the know-how of the world’s leading gin experts and perseverance, we created No.3 Gin. No.3 is the perfect balance of three key flavours: Juniper, Citrus and Spice. Making for the most refreshing gin and tonic, clean, crisp martini or distinctive negroni. Discover Gin Perfection in every drop.
No.3 Gin is available to buy from Waitrose, Amazon and prestige retail including Berry Bros. & Rudd and The Whisky Exchange (RRP £37). London on-trade accounts include DUKES, Artesian, The Goring Hotel and The Savoy.
