Review:

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.

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.
