on 12/24/2007 The original martini appealed to a genration with different tastes, thus the 1/3 vermouth ratio to vodka or gin. Today's taste has evolved to where "dry" is in, meaning vermouth is added in traces or hints. Several drops of any dry vermouth usually suffices for most tastes, only a drop or two is needed for a dry martini.
