Dickens' Dry Martini

A 5:1 Dry Martini served without any garnish (i.e. no olive or twist). The name is a reference to Charles Dicken's novel Oliver Twist

Go on - go 15:75. You can add 15mos of him to the vermouth and then do another 60.

I would like a class that teaches how to achieve that measurement accuracy without laboratory equipment.

Ha ha let’s be honest we’ve all done 60 and 15. You can’t go over 60 on the Diffords jigger anyway

Quite contradictory named, since it goes no-Olive(r), no-Twist. Maybe should be No-Dickens' Martini?

Or maybe "What the Dickens?! Martini"...

I might try the 5:1 ratio, but I love olives so much, even the cheap ones, that I can't go without them for my martinis.

But to each their own!

Straight'n'clean, no veggies -- just as it should be. Conceptual purity-wise only surpassed by the Churchill Martini which I find a tad reductionist :)

This is one of my favourite martinis. It has the wonderful herbal flavours with a slight hint of bitter orange at the end. Perfect for a before dinner cocktail or just an afternoon sipper.
