Our comment:
Three to one may be unfair odds in a fight but vermouth shines in this stirred off-dry Martini. Through experimentation we have found that 3:1 Martinis are better stirred rather than shaken. Conversely 15:1 Martinis are better shaken rather than stirred.
History:
There is considerable debate around the origin of the Martini and the best way to make this drink. Detailed information can be found on our Dry Martini page.
