Goa-born Stranger & Sons is an Indian craft gin that has been quietly championing martini culture since 2018. Now it has decided that the beloved martini deserves an equally enjoyable snack. Enter: Dirty Martini Chips.
Stranger & Sons has collaborated with Kettle Studio, the gourmet snack brand, to release Dirty Martini Chips. These aren’t just your regular potato chips – but they aren’t a gin-flavored novelty either! These are salt, brine, and dill flavored potato chips that effortlessly belong next to a dirty martini the way a well-chosen olive does.
These chips contain 0% gin but are absolutely gin-worthy – making them a perfect companion for your drink.

On 1st April 2026, Stranger & Sons posted what was intended to be a throwaway April Fools’ joke: an announcement that they were launching gin-flavored chips. But the response they met with was simply not expected. People were upset that it isn’t real – showing that the masses craved for a bar snack that belongs in the same lifestyle as a premium cocktail. A hundred days later, that April Fools’ joke turned into a legitimate product: Dirty Martini Chips.

Currently, Dirty Martini Chips are available at select premium retail outlets and liquor stores with the purchase of every Stranger & Sons bottle across Mumbai, Goa and Karnataka.
These chips will shortly be available on quick commerce platforms.
Stranger & Sons has, over the years, built programming around Gibson and Martini culture, encouraged drinkers to pickle their own onions, experiment with brines, and treat the martini as a ritual rather than just a drink order. Now, Dirty Martini Chips seem to be only the natural progression in their efforts to define a distinct culture that is uniquely their own.

“At Third Eye Distillery, we've never been interested in building brands that only exist in a bottle,” says Rahul Mehra, CEO and Co-Founder of Third Eye Distillery.
“The brands people remember are the ones that become part of culture. Stranger & Sons has always been about creating things people genuinely want to be part of, whether that's a drink, an experience or, in this case, a bag of chips. We've spent years celebrating the Martini and the rituals around it, so when people kept asking for the chips, making them felt like the natural extension of an obsession we've had for years. Partnering with Kettle Studio helped us create something that earns its place at the table – not because it carries our logo, but because it genuinely belongs next to our Dirty Martini.”
The Dirty Martini Chips launched by Stranger & Sons and Kettle Studio are about to be your Dirty Martini’s best friend! No, they don’t contain gin – but just the right amount of salt, brine, and dill flavoring. When are you trying them out?
