Review:
My preferred five-to-one Dry Martini with a split base of gins and a splash of sherry.
History:
Adapted from the sherry-influenced "Martini Cocktail No. 2" in the 1898 book Cocktails... How To Make Them but with the dry vermouth stipulated in the Marguerite cocktail above. The split base of gins also reflects the combination of two recipes.
Marguerite Cocktail.
Jacob Abraham Grohusko, Jack's Manual, 1910
