Good call on the martini. Like the margarita, it is timeless. But I urge you not to indulge those for whom even the slightest hint of vermouth thoroughly emasculates both the martini and its drinker. Although Churchill could get away with this silly bravado, I hope that you enjoy a more traditional recipe.

Friend Flower,
Of course, I maintain the most traditional of stances where the martini is concerned. I have been known more than once to have sent back a glass of gin. The proper ratio of 4 parts gin to one part vermouth must be defended at all costs.
I will defend it on the beaches. I will defend it in the air. I will..... Well, you get the picture.
Yours in mixology,
T. Wonk
