   It all depends on the customer and how ‘dry’ they want it. As for a manhattan, I don’t know of any manhattan recipes that call for as little vermouth as a martini does.

   It’s not snooty cos there is no right way - everyone has their own preference on how to make it. What makes a great bartender is to be able to make a drink as close to what the customer wants. If they want it shaken, they get it shaken. If they want to mix Henessey Paradis with coke, on the other hand, they deserve to get run over when you chase them out of the bar.

   Problems do arise …
   Problems do arise when using the word “perfect” when talking about a martini because it is both in reference to the drink being “perfect” in taste, and also to a martini using both sweet and dry vermouth. The way I distinguish between the two is to look at where the term “perfect” is located in relation to the name of the drink. For instance if they say a “perfect vodka martini,” I know they mean the first instance, if they say “vodka martini perfect,” I know they are talking about the latter.

    unfortunatly the bartender will have NO clue what you mean; Gordon is a U.K. gin and Kina Lillet hasnt even been in production since 1985. Use Lillet Blanc instead and to recreate the original bitter flavor of Kina Lillet, add a dash or two of Angostura bitters or a pinch of Quinine powder. Stoli is also a reccomended vodka since the 100 proof was the common amount back in the 50s and in the books James Bond favored Stoli. bdw Gordon is under 80 proof while Tanqueray and others are around 94
