THE MARTINI
There is not much agreement on the correct ratio of gin to dry
vermouth that makes a perfect Martini, or on the true origin of the
Martini cocktail, made famous by Janes Bond, who drinks it "shaken,

vermouths to the United States in the 19th century.

THE SAZERAC

pharmacist Antoine Peychaud came up with the
