Christmas Gifts for Martini Lovers
Classic, espresso or pornstar: how to choose a back-print tee for the martini lover on your Christmas list.
Martini lovers are precise people. They know how they like it, which glass it belongs in and whether the olive is negotiable. That makes them tricky to shop for at Christmas: they already own the shaker and the coupes. A tee with their drink drawn on the back is a gift that speaks their language, and one they can wear to the next holiday party.
For the classic martini drinker
Martini & Lobster Diet pairs a martini glass with three olives on a pick and a red lobster, under the words "Martini and Lobster diet". It is for the person whose idea of a celebration is a cold martini followed by a seafood dinner, which is a fair description of many festive menus.
A gift for the espresso martini lover
Espresso Martini Club shows an espresso martini topped with three coffee beans, in a pink wavy frame with small blue stars. It suits the friend who orders one after dinner instead of a dessert, and the colleague who treats coffee as a personality trait. Of all our martini designs, it is the one that looks most at home at a December party.
For the fruity side of the bar
Pornstar Martini Club draws an orange cocktail with half a passion fruit, served with its small side glass, on the same pink wavy frame. It is the pick for someone who prefers their martini sweet and tropical, and it pairs well with the espresso version if you are buying for two friends with opposite tastes.
The three designs are grouped on one page: martini shirts.
What goes with a martini
A martini rarely arrives alone. If the person on your list orders one with a plate of oysters or a seafood platter, look at the drawings that sit on the table rather than the bar.
Oyster Diet shows a blue oyster with the line "Eat oysters · Drink wine". Holy Crab features a red crab raising two glasses, a fitting image for the season of toasts. For the full lobster selection, see our lobster shirts.
For the New Year's Eve toast
Some martini lovers switch to bubbles at midnight. Sparkling Vibes Only is an orange line drawing of a bottle pouring into a coupe, with the line "good drinks · good company". It works as a second gift, or as the one to wear on December 31.
How to choose the right one
Think about the last time you shared a drink with them. If they asked for it dry with olives, choose Martini & Lobster Diet. If they ordered it with coffee after dinner, Espresso Martini Club. If they went for the passion fruit, Pornstar Martini Club. And if you are unsure, the Drinks collection shows every cocktail drawing we make, from negroni to gin and tonic.

Order early for Christmas
December is busy for every delivery service, so order early. Orders ship within 1 business day, then delivery takes 5–8 business days to the U.S., France, Germany and Italy, and 4–7 business days to the UK. In the U.S., each tee is $39.90, and two tees ship free: an espresso martini and a pornstar martini make an easy pair for two friends.
Why a tee makes a good martini gift
Every tee is 100% combed cotton at 280 g/m², a heavyweight fabric, with a boxy unisex cut in sizes XS to XXL. The drawing is printed on the back with a small signature on the chest, so the front stays clean and simple. Their usual size gives an oversized fit, one size down a closer one; the size guide has the measurements.
A note on the occasion
These designs celebrate the ritual of the cocktail hour: the glass, the garnish, the company. They are about taste and atmosphere, not quantity. Enjoy responsibly.
