The Classic Martini
While real estate is all about location, location, location, Martinis are about dry, dry, dry. While some feel it's much ado about nothing, the true martini lover is as loyal to their favorite recipe as they are to an old friend.
2 oz gin
1/2 oz vermouth (French Vermouth)

The complexities of the martini derive from a multitude of preferences including,
Shaken vs stirred
Dry, dry or dry (amount of vermouth)
