23
Q

Martini

A 
Gin:
2 oz gin
1 oz dry vermouth
2 dashes orange bitters
served up with lemon twist

Vodka:
some including Liquor.com and Tom Macy say to have less vermouth in a vodka martini, for example, Tom and Liquor.com agree with upping the vodka by half an ounce and decreasing the vermouth by half an ounce. Liquor.com says only use 1 dash of orange bitters. Tom foregoes the orange bitters entirely as does Ryan. Ryan says no orange bitters and only a rinse of dry vermouth because most customers don’t expect to really taste the dry vermouth.

24
Q

Classic Dry Martini

A 
Gin:
2 1/2 oz gin
1/2 oz dry vermouth
2 dashes orange bitters
served up with lemon twist

Vodka:
2 3/4 oz vodka
1/4 oz dry vermouth
Up lemon twist

Ryan doesn’t seem to distinguish between a classic dry and extra dry vodka Martini. He doesn’t put vermouth in either, not even a dash or rinse. I think that’s silly. At the very least the extra dry has to stand for something. Tom says for a dry vodka Martini, use 1/4 oz vermouth, no orange bitters, and at least 2 1/2 oz vodka. I’d probably go with 2 3/4 oz vodka to keep it an even 3 oz and I think Jack and Tom would as well.

25
Q

Extra Dry Martini

A 
Gin:
3 oz gin 
rinse with dry vermouth
2 dashes orange bitters
served up lemon twist

Vodka:
Ryan of course says no vermouth or orange bitters at all, Tom defines “extra dry” as code for pure chilled vodka as well, no bitters or even a rinse of vermouth and not worthy of the name “Martini”.

26
Q

Dirty Martini

A

Tom says whether you use less vermouth or not to keep the liquid proportions the same is up to you. He’d probably bring the vermouth down and base spirit up for the vodka but keep at least the base spirit the same for gin. But anyway,
1/4 oz - slightly dirty
½ oz - “classic” dirty
3/4 oz and up - very dirty to filthy

Liquor.com says
2 1/2 oz of gin OR vodka
1/2 oz dry vermouth for both spirits
1/2 oz olive dirt for both spirits
and 2-4 olive garnish
so,
2 oz gin
1/2-1 oz dry vermouth
1/2 oz olive dirt
served up with two olives
Ryan's standard dirty gin is:
2 oz gin
1 oz dry vermouth
3/4 oz olive dirt
and shaken, not stirred
Ryan's standard dirty vodka is:
3 oz vodka
3/4 oz dirt
rinse of vermouth
shaken, not stirred
slightly dirty: 
2 oz gin
3/4-1 oz dry vermouth
1/4 oz olive dirt
served up with one olive
very dirty - filthy
2 oz gin
1/4-1 oz dry vermouth
3/4 oz and up olive dirt
served up with three olives

Another way is to increase the main spirit in proportion to how much you bring the vermouth down

Another way is to use bitters and just a barspoon of olive dirt (and maybe dash of saline) and keep the other dimensions the same

And adding saline solution or salt is a great way to increase that salty flavor without the nastiness. Might be good even if you don’t use any olive juice at all.

bitters or not and what type are historically optional
