Ordering a Dry Martini is a lot like ordering a steak. What cut of meat? How well done? And with what sauce? The analogy translates to Martini garnishes...
Entertaining and informative, as ever, Simon...
one little thing (probably a 'typo'), but you have the 15:5 "Franklin" measurements as 75ml and 15ml which is 5:1!
Thanks Mitchell. In the Franklin, the vermouth is stirred with the ice and then discarded before the gin is added so leaving only a small amount of vermouth coating the stirring glass and ice. I've added a note in brackets above to make clearer.
