hmmmm.... i think the way the dude on the bombay sapphire channel makes a martini is the best. he pours the vermouth on the ice in the mixing glass first, swirls it, then strains it so that the vermouth coats the ice but the excess is drained off. then he adds the gin and stirs and serves. works great.

When you ice the cocktail glass after you swirl the vermouth, doesn't the vermouth flavor wash away with the water and ice?
How come these steps aren't reversed? I guess the room temperature vermouth would warm the glass, but I think the flavor is more important than the temperature.
LOL, I know I'm probably wrong, though. This guy seems do be a genius!
Nice video!

With respect, dry Vermouth is wine "flavored" because it IS a wine. Don't store it on the shelf - it goes bad. Refrigerate. BTW - "dry" martini refers to using dry vermouth as opposed to sweet. It has nothing to do with the amount. That myth comes from the same mistaken people that think pouring vermouth out is part of a reasonable recipe. Not trying to beat up on you but perpetuating wrong practices or information can benefit from setting the record straight.

1) Shaking and stirring dilute the drink the same if you shake/stir long enough.
2) It's a spoon. Use the spoon side of that spoon. It's swirled for a reason (your fingers). Stir spirits-only drinks, shake drinks with juice/dairy/eggs.
3) What the hell were you thinking with the vermouth bit? There's none left in the final product. YOU LITERALLY WASHED IT ALL OUT.
Where did you learn to do this? Who was your mentor? This is like the 6th classic cocktail I've watched you NOT EVEN COME CLOSE on.

I don't mean to be offensive, but do you have a condition?
Please don't get me wrong, I think it's great what you're doing.

@ejh06752 That is the way I was taught to make dry martinis as well...never had any complaints!
-
Yeah I like that way better...putting the vermouth in the glass then straining out the vermouth leaving a coat of it on the ice.
-
I agree, it seems odd to put ice water on top of the very little vermouth in the glass.
Thanks for your comments. You are right on. I agree that dry vermouth is an important ingredient of the martini. Unfortunately, many American haven't developed an appreciation for it and therefore request it with little or no vermouth.
