Question

Extra Dry Martini

Answer 1

``` 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".

Answer 2

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
