Martini
1/8 Italian Vermouth. (1/4 oz)
1/4 French Vermouth. (1/2 oz)
5/8 Dry Gin. (1 1/4 oz)

I added the oz information.
Dolin Dry Vermouth is a good French vermouth

Just had a Martini at the Ritz in London and it was fantastic. I'm pretty sure they use one measure of vermouth and that it is stirred and not shaken.

Orange Bitters and
Garnish of Lemon after a twist.
I'm not sure that this has not already been posted here but I found this just before I went on my recent holiday as I was looking to do some colour matching when deciding to take a hat. Upshot a steely grey looks petty good with everything. There is also some information on colour matching as...
