difference between dry and wet martini
The Dry Side. The term dry martini originally described a martini made with white vermouth, which tends to be drier than other types of vermouth. Today, ordering a dry martini is another way of asking for less vermouth. Wet martinis have a higher proportion of vermouth to gin. A standard dry martini contains 5 or 6 parts gin to 1 part vermouth.
Wet Martini â. Gin is combined with a small amount of dry vermouth, usually in a 3:1 ratio. As with Dry Martinis, a Wet Martini can be ordered âextra wetâ when in a bar which could go up to as much as 1:1, which incidentally is also known as a Fifty-Fifty Martini.
