119. Dry Martini Cocktail

 My interpretation:
  1.0 oz Hawthorn’s London Dry Gin
  1.0 oz Noilly Prat Extra Dry

Fill mixing-glass with cracked ice (crack in your hand if you wish), stir, strain into cocktail glass, and serve. — A Dry Martini in the old day obviously gets you a wet one by today’s standard. The “Dry” here is to distinguish the type of Vermouth used, not the ratio. A regular martini would thus call for equal parts Sweet Vermouth and Gin stirred without addition of bitters or garnish, as shall be seen at the proper place.
