Martini is one of the oldest classic cocktails. Over the years, the Martini has become one of the most famous alcoholic drinks.
The ratio of gin to vermouth has changed since the time when the cocktail was created. A ratio of 1:1 used to be common, but at the turn of the 20th century it changed, and in the 1930s and 1940s a ratio of 3:1 or 4:1 was common. During the second half of the 20th century, the ratio of gin to vermouth varied in favor of gin to 6:1, 8:1, 10:1 The amount and type of vermouth varies and varies depending on the flavor you want to achieve (from weak drinks to a strong shot).
Some people like a martini drink made by mixing 50% red (also known as “Italian” or “sweet”) and 50% white (also known as “French” or “dry”) vermouth.
