I've shared my thoughts here before, and I still love this recipe. However, I've recently found my go-to dry martini combo that I can't get enough of:
60 ml London Dry Gin (currently using Tanqueray for its versatility)
15 ml Dolin Dry Vermouth
4 green olives on a skewer
I let a few drops of olive juice fall into the glass from the spoon while garnishing. To me, this makes an immaculate martini. I highly recommend trying this 4:1 ratio. Enjoy!
Dear Paul - have you also tried splitting your gin? I like a 50:50 of Plymouth and Tanq Ten.
