This is a very delicious martini. The ingredients mix well together and the hint of the orange bitters add a nice hint.

A personal favorite, as far as Martinis go - best with the orange bitters, a lemon twist and stirred until you get bored before straining it out.

I like this ratio, but prefer half of the Vermouth to be extra dry, and the other half sweet. I find this gives a depth of flavour, especially when shaken.

Wanted to experience a “wetter” Martini than I usually drink. A bit too wet for me. I’ll have to try 3:1 next.

I say go for the 1:1 or 2:1.5 ratio. You may be surprised. I usually prefer a 5:1 Martini but those recipes somehow come out better balanced than the 2:1 ratio.
