My interpretation:
0.75 oz Dolin Dry
0.75 oz Dolin Rouge
0.66 oz Castle & Key London Dry
Stir with ice, strain into cocktail glass, garnish with olive. — This perfect martini riff with olive garnish first appears in Straub 1913 in equal parts (1/3 jigger each ingredient), from which it was borrowed for JM 1916 with a slight reduction in gin. Presumably this was to enable easier measuring using Jack’s particular bar equipment; or else he may have thought that such a miniscule reduction of gin would result in substantial savings for his pocket. The old method calls for dropping the unadorned olive in the empty glass and pouring over it the contents of the mixing-glass.
