Three Two One Martini (3:2:1 Martini)
A riff on a Fifty-Fifty Martini with, as the name suggests, three-parts gin, two-parts dry vermouth, and one-part bianco vermouth

Playing with substituting blanco for rosso vermouth in a "Perfect" Martini recipe, I found it rather sweeter, even using olives in place of orange rind. I should have tried this recipe instead - and I will - as it seems to be the right "perfect" martini that still looks like a martini! ;-)

OK - tried this without lemon twist using stuffed Spanish green olives (they're easier to get here and look fancier) and it's a lot more balanced but perhaps still a bit on the sweet side? Definitely a recipe I want to play around with more though (6:4:1/3:2:0.5 perhaps?) but definitely more what I expected of a "perfect martini" than the rosso version, nice though it is.

Our favourite no-nonsense Martini...wet-ish with a whisp of sweetness.

btw If you would welcome an underlying gentle voluptuousness, Contratto Vermouth Bianco is the go.
Making it with 50 ml, 30 ml Dry and 10 ml White seems like a nice balance to me.
