Wet Martini Cocktail Recipe
A Wet Martini is a classic Martini variation with a higher proportion of dry vermouth to gin (typically 2:1) compared to modern dry Martinis. This results in a more balanced, approachable, and slightly less boozy cocktail that highlights the herbal and floral notes of both ingredients. It reflects early 20th-century Martini styles before drier versions became dominant.
