How much vermouth do you prefer in your martini?

I've had them from a number of places that go way overboard.

I don't use any when I make them at home, but I prefer a slight coating on the glass, nothing more.

Also, it's hard to beat the olive juice from the tray/bottle of olives.

Olive juice is all I use at home.

Open vermouth, hold glass next to bottle, softly blow bottle bouquet towards glass.

Very very little but a martini without any just doesn't taste right.

My Preference is Extra Dirty BTW

the only way to make a martini is with ice-cold gin, and a bow in the direction of France.

I prefer a gin martini with about 10-20% dry vermouth.

1/4 oz, swirled around the glass then dumped. Or, if you have a mist sprayer, one spritz in the glass.

Take the glass in hand, pour vermouth in it, spin it around in your hand, toss it out in the sink, you're done.

4 to 1 gin to vermouth at a minimum. 3 to 1 if I have my druthers.

I've tried it all sorts of ways. My preference:

No vermouth
1 olive
2 drops of this stuff:



One bottle of Angostura will last you 10 years. Does not require refrigeration.
