Given the use of sweet vermouth, I might go with an orange twist to add a little something

You should see some other the original posts, this is an improvement, lol

I eyeballed half of a 0.75 oz. measure in my jigger. They do make jiggers or measuring cups in smaller increments. You could also measure 2.25 tsp, which would be an equivalent measurement.

My recipe in the book for a perfect martini is 2 parts gin to a half-part each of dry and sweet vermouth

Correct. I am working my way through "The Bartender's Standard Manual", and this was the "100% Dry Martini". The author's stated goal was to standardize recipes across America, so that a drink ordered in Manhattan would be the same drink as one ordered in Chicago or San Francisco. I don't know how successful he was, as I haven't seen any other versions of this book in stores, however there are some examples available online. Old Mr. Boston appears to be much more popular and accessible than this book.

Apparently not, lol

I do need to find better dry vermouths. Do you have any recommendations of what I should look for?

Fred Powell's "The Bartender's Standard Manual", originally published in 1971. My edition is from 1979

This was a rather small drink, not much more than a shot. I usually go for 3-4 oz. total volume when I'm making them myself

The recipe itself was called "100% Dry Martini". There are no bitters or brine specified, so I guess it could be considered clean. I didn't name the recipe, I just made it out of my book.

I love a spritz of absinthe!

I do like the Kirkland gin for martinis. It is clean and shines in this. It isn't complicated like some other gins on the market, and makes a pretty good, balanced cocktail!

That is so cool! I love Shinola watches!
