Gin and Dry Vermouth Cocktails

186 recipes. Two bottles, and one of them is the Martini.

Gin and dry vermouth is the shortest useful bar in existence. The two together are a Martini, and the ratio between them is very nearly the only decision: 5:1 is modern and bracing, 3:1 is how the drink was written, and 1:1 is a Fifty-Fifty and better than its reputation.

Everything else in this list is that pair with one thing added. A dash of orange bitters makes it a Tuxedo, a cocktail onion makes it a Gibson, and a splash of sweet vermouth alongside makes it a Perfect Martini.

Keep both cold and keep the vermouth in the fridge. Almost every complaint about this drink at home traces back to warm gin or old vermouth.
