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.)
History:
There is considerable debate around the origin of the Martini and the best way to make this cocktail.
