Name: Dry Martini 'Preferred Stirred' (5:1 ratio)
Prep time: 3 min
Total time: 3 min
Ingredients: 62.5 ml Gin; 12.5 ml Vermouth - Dry; 1 Orange bitters (optional)

We have chosen a 5:1 ratio as our 'preferred' stirred Dry Martini specification in deference to David Embury who writes of this drink in his The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, "After extensive experimentation I have arrived at the ratio of 5 to 1 as the proportion most pleasing to the average palate. Personally I like a ratio of about 7 to 1 even better, and I know some who prefer a ratio as high as 10 to 1."The proportion of gin to vermouth is a matter of taste; some say 5 to 1, others that one drop is sufficient. I recommend you ask the drinker how they would like their Martini, in the same manner, that you might ask how they have their steak.
