Yeah, it's just a gin or vodka shot... I have a very minimal amount of vermouth, but there IS vermouth to "cut" the liquor taste (a film on the inside of the glass before adding chilled gin, finished with an olive).
My favorite is a vodka martini with a splash of gin a half cap of dry vermouth (kept in fridge) and 4 jumbo Costco olives. I stir, never shake. Strain into a cocktail glass that’s been in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
When I bartended, a Martini was a two-shot well drink while most others were a single shot. People would order a vodka martini with orange juice or a tequila martini with lime. I didn't care. I was working for tips.
The writer Richard Ford came to a party my parents had when we lived in Memphis in the 80s. Ford had a great time talking to my dad, an FBI agent, and noticed he was a martini drinker. So Ford asked my dad to show him how to make a proper one, and my dad happily obliged. Two jiggers of gin, half a jigger of vermouth, over ice in a glass tumbler. Two or three olives. Stir. Enjoy. 🍸🍸🍸 Later, Ford wrote in his Pulitzer Prize winning novel Independence Day: "He sat at the bar, the dim lights of the hotel lounge casting a soft glow over the worn wood, and ordered a martini, extra dry. As the bartender placed the glass before him, the condensation clinging to the chilled glass, Frank inhaled the faint scent of gin and felt a sense of familiarity, a quiet comfort in the routine. The first sip was a sharp shock, then a smooth slide down his throat, leaving a lingering taste of olive brine that seemed to echo the bittersweet quality of his own life."
I thought a martini automatically had vodka in it. Funny note: while my late, Russian-born husband and I were visiting his late Russian-born aunt and uncle in Tel Aviv, my late husband informed me that his uncle made his own vodka. I rushed to look out of their 10th-story apartment building to see if I could find a vodka still but all I saw were more buildings and more concrete. His secret: buy a bottle of vodka and blend in his own spices, then stick the entire bottle in the freezer! I was amused!
Sadly (tragically!) what makes a "martini" today is the glass. Put mango ice cream in a martini glass with two drops of vodka, and voila! An Ice Cream Martini!! Martini by definition: Very chilled GIN and a small amount of good, fresh Vermouth, stirred on very cold ice, not shaken like a frozen daiquiri, served straight up, with a lemon twist, or 1 or 3 green olives. (I like 6-9 parts of gin to 1 part of French Noilly Prat vermouth). If you shake, you melt too much ice too fast, diluting the drink and producing a watered down dud. Stirred, you get a very cold drink and you can taste the gin. And you need the vermouth to put out the alcoholic fire in the gin. Too much fire, again, you can't properly taste the gin. Too much vermouth, you taste vermouth, not the greatest of sipping wines, and again, lose the flavor of the gin. As for a vodka "martini". Hell, if you want to get smashed like a 16 year old, just drink the vodka and get it done with.
Why were they using champagne glasses to serve a martini? They were at a bar, who certainly would have martini glasses... The Kingsman recipe: "I'll have a Martini. Gin, not vodka, obviously, stirred for 10 seconds while glancing at an unopened bottle of vermouth." My preference: Perfect dry Martini: 1- Put ice in glass. 2- Pour vermouth over ice. 3- Swirl ice in glass. 4- Toss ice, leaving light film on inside of glass. 5- Pour chilled gin/vodka in glass as desired. 6- Add olive/onion/twist as/if desired. 7- Enjoy.

There’s an old urban legend that Franklin Roosevelt’s idea of a martini was “looking at a bottle of vermouth while drinking a glass of gin”
That's Winston Churchill

You're right. Dilution and shaking makes it less of a punch in the face. That's a heck of a lot of spirit in one cocktail.
It’s the marriage of Gin and Vermouth. The botanicals should compliment and challenge each other. Orange Bitters make it better
Glad to hear the vermouth part of the story. As the first gentleman said, "If there's no vermouth, then it's not a cocktail."
Yeah, it's just a gin or vodka shot... I have a very minimal amount of vermouth, but there IS vermouth to "cut" the liquor taste (a film on the inside of the glass before adding chilled gin, finished with an olive).
My Grandfather drank vodka Martinis and used an eye dropper to add vermouth. He liked his Martinis very specific.
@williamjones7163 - wow, that's quite specific!

2:1 is too much vermouth. I find that a few dashes or orange bitters is a nice addition.

Too much vermouth for my personal taste, a 5:1 ratio is better, but that is totally personal. Wise father!
The playhouse never misses cbs Sunday morning, it's not Sunday till the music plays...hope everyone joins the playhouse!
Oddly, I get a four minute commercial about alcohol abuse before I get to watch a 3 minute video about the martini.
We just celebrated a holiday that honored the memory of the Pilgrims. America is still very much a Puritan nation.
Martinis are always a part of Thanksgiving at Chateau Krazmo. Along with a screening or a listen to "Alice's Restaurant" RIP Alice.
If you can only have one martini, make sure it's served in a bigger glass.
I don't drink any more... I don't drink any less either... An oldie, but a classic...
Absolutely, or I don't want it. Included with Bleu cheese olives!
My late father used to say that the proof of a really good martini was wanting a second, and realizing you can't.
Created in Martinez , California!
I prefer a drop of Cointreau in a frozen glass and a 10:1 gin:vermouth ratio. The Cointreau does something to it, imo. Need one now actually 🍸

The glass.
So vermouth should be refrigerated?
100%
If it’s a martini everything should either be ice cold. The glass should also be frozen.
@@Rice_Fr1ed_ShrimpAbsolutely 💯
OK, but Martini literally translates into 'Mar' and 'teeny' which means Tiny Ocean...

Nobody who actually drinks martinis would order one shaken. Any guy who asks for that at a bar is 100% a poser trying to be like James Bond.

Alcohol is a drug. Be careful.
That's why we love it.
Shaken not stirred
Martinis should be shaken vigorously.
Who cares. The best thing we can do is get serious about addiction and alcoholism. Stop these for profit bs rehabs.
