History

A Martini made with both French (dry) and Italian (sweet) vermouths is called a Perfect Martini and to quote David A. Embury's 1948 The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, "Someone once said that whoever named near-beer was a darned poor judge of distance. I say that whoever named the "Perfect" cocktail was a might poor judge of perfection. It is also sometimes called the Somerset and, if made with equal parts of French vermouth, Italian vermouth, and gin, the Queen."

Review

The high proportion of vermouth makes this Martini almost sherry-like. And I like sherry!
