Using an equal amount of gin and dry vermouth transforms the classic Martini into a 50-50. This drink is a nice change of pace from the 4:1 or 8:1 Martini ratio and a far cry from the more modern custom of virtually no vermouth. Use the best vermouth you can get for this cocktail and add a dash of bitters for a little extra spark.
