  • 1 lemon twist

    This is an out and out assault on the Classic Martini. Using these absurd proportions yields a concoction that tastes just HORRIBLE.

    It's nice to see that you're not afraid of going old school, but even classic cocktail aficionados today generally prefer a gin:vermouth ratio of 2:1 or 4:1. (I prefer 4:1 myself.)As in all recipes, it's best to experiment and discover what you like. In this case, that means trying different proportions, as well as trying different gins and vermouths: Noilly Prat, Dolin, and Martini & Rossi (Dry) are all good vermouths, but they yield noticeably different results. The same is true if you go with a juniper-forward gin like Tanqueray or Beefeater compared with herbier gins like Plymouth and Hendrick's.

    I realize that this is the "Old Version" of the Martini but the equal parts of both Gin and Vermouth is so terrible tasting. I have gone into so many places and asked for a very dry Martini and when I received my drink I got a glass of Vermouth and a little Gin. How hard is it to get something like a Martini correct.
