Review

Three to one may be unfair odds in a fight, but vermouth shines in this stirred off-dry Martini. Through experimentation, I've found that 3:1 Martinis are better stirred rather than shaken. (Conversely, 15:1 Martinis are better shaken rather than stirred.)

Secret is. Make the 3.1 in an empty gin bottle and place it in the freezer overnight!! Nomnom.

What a wonderful martini to serve to a group or people who may be indifferent about gin. Still dry, but with a wonderful softness in the flavour.
