Vermouth is a seriously underrated beverage

Are they? The cocktails they're made with don't seem to be . . .

 

I've had to specify what a real gin martini is when ordering them at restaurants due to the sheer number of fruit based abominations masquerading as a martini at restaurants and bars. Newsflash people the type of glass you use does not define a drink, its what you put in said drink.

 

A martini is 3 parts gin to 1 part dry vermouth, with a stuffed olive to garnish.

 

A Manhattan is 2 parts rye whisky, to one part sweet vermouth, with a dash of bitters and a maraschino cherry.

 

If not for my grandfather I wouldn't know either drink exists.
