What Is a 'Dry' Martini

What Is a 'Dry' Martiniの全貌を分かりやすくまとめてご紹介します。

A classic dry martini has only three ingredients. Actually, two if you’re a Churchill fan.

You need gin (please, for the love of all things boozy, use good gin). You need dry vermouth (a good one, not the dusty bottle from 1998). And you need a garnish—usually an olive or a lemon twist.

No fruit juice. No sugar. No silly liqueurs. This isn’t a pool party. This is a meditation.

The Great Vodka Debate

Can you use vodka? Technically, yes. A vodka martini exists. But let’s be real for a second. It’s a different drink.

Vodka is silent. It brings nothing to the party but cold. Gin brings personality—juniper, botanicals, a little attitude. A dry martini should have a personality. Don’t you think?

So, if you order a dry martini with vodka, you’re ordering the cocktail equivalent of a blank stare. Just saying.
