July 12-Dry Martini

You found it, you actually found it. Get your cameras people we found the one cocktail I would rather use vodka in rather than gin. But I prefer the cleaner taste of vodka over gin in a martini. This is the main reason I like the vesper, since the vodka dries out the gin enough while retaining the botanical quality of the gin. If I had to choosde between the 2 however, I would take the cleanliness over the botanicals.

This cocktail is super simple but intricate as everyone has a certain ratio of dry vermouth to gin. This is why I hate making this for others, since you are more liable to mess up with this 2 ingredient cocktail than any other one in my opinion. Most cocktails people don’t know the exact make of or what they are supposed to taste like while this one, if you’re ordering it, you know it better than any other drink and what bit’s meant to taste like to you.
