The Perfect Dry Martini | Grey Goose Vodka
Many people are afraid to buy vermouth because they think it’s bad. That assumption may have come from tasting a bottle that’s been aging in Grandma’s pantry for a decade or two. To those people I say go to your local wine store right now and buy a good fresh bottle of dry vermouth. Dolin Dry is affordable and delicious and even comes in half-size bottles. (There are also a number of domestic vermouths these days if you’re interested in looking further.)
Once you’ve said goodbye to the bottle crack it open and taste it over ice. Add a slice of lemon if you like. You may have just found your new favorite tipple: low (or not) in alcohol complex in flavor like white wine but spicier. After trying it neat you can use your fresh vermouth in a martini maybe even a fifty-fifty with equal parts gin and vermouth. Try other gins too: maybe you like Tanqueray in a G&T but prefer something a little smoother in a martini.
Once you’ve covered these basics you might be wondering what else you can do with that bottle. Here are a few ideas to use up what’s left… and to convince you that you should always have a bottle on hand.
