I would never put a 1/4 ratio of Vermouth in a Martini, just a combo of sweet & dry Vermouth and just a splash at the most, more dry Vermouth then sweet for a a drier drink, I would never add a lemon twist unless ordered, extra dry Martini,dry Vermouth only, no sweet. a Dirty Martini uses the juice from the olive jar. My recipe is: Reg Martini a few drops of Sweet & dry Vermouth in equal amounts Dry Martini 1/3 sweet & 2/3 dry Extra Dry only dry vermouth everyone has their own taste, but I had enough fans of my Martini, Mai Tai, Zombie & Scorpion's to stick with my classic recipes.
