FAQ

What is a gin martini made of?

A traditional Martini recipe has exactly two ingredients: gin and dry vermouth. The trick is balancing the herbal spirit with your fortified wine, and then tweaking the results to your tastes. Martinis can be dry or wet, depending on the amount of vermouth involved.

What does a dirty gin martini mean?

The term ‘dirty’ means that olive brine, usually from a jar of cocktail olives, has been added to the drink. An olive garnish is typically assumed, too. Most bars add equal parts vermouth and brine, though you can specify ‘extra dirty’ or ‘filthy’ if you prefer more brine.

What is the ratio for a martini?

The ratio is negotiable, but common formulas for a Dry Martini typically fall in the range of four-to-eight parts gin to one part vermouth. A dash of orange bitters ties the room together. Despite the exacting demands of a certain fictional British spy, the Martini is meant to be stirred, not shaken.

What is a gin martini without vermouth called?

Bone-dry: a martini made with extremely little or no vermouth.
