Vermouth is used in many cocktails, but it is also very good served on ice with a lemon or orange slice. Try it half and half with freshly squeezed Orange Juice.

Is there a best before date for martini?
Vermouth is a wine. Once it is opened it can last for months, but no longer than that. Then the flavour tends to deteriorate, though you can still use it for cooking. The flavour is always best when martini is freshly opened.
What is a double martini?
Basically, a double martini is two martini cocktails served in one glass. To mix one, you use twice as much gin and twice as much vermouth, then strain it into a larger martini glass. They are not recommended, as the drink will be warm before you've finished it (unless you're drinking way too fast). It is generally better to order a martini, drink it and order another than to order a double martini.
How do you make a dirty dry martini?
While variations are many, a standard modern martini is an approximate four to one ratio, made by combining approximately two ounces (or 55ml) of Gin, and approximately half an ounce (or 15ml) of dry vermouth. Some prefer somewhat less vermouth—about a five or six to one proportion of gin to vermouth. Many bartending schools insist that a cocktail shaker tends to dull the taste of the vermouth,[citation needed] and some argue that it sharpens the taste of gin by "bruising" the liquid. However, it is relatively common to see a bartender mix a martini with a shaker due in part to the influence of popular cultural figures such as the fictional super-spy James Bond, who asked for his vodka martinis "shaken, not stirred" (such a martini is traditionally referred to as a "Bradford"[citation needed]), and super-sleuth Nick Charles (William Powell) in The Thin Man (1934), who instructed a bartender, "A dry Martini you always shake to waltz time." The ingredients are mixed then strained and served "straight up" (without ice) in a chilled cocktail glass, and garnished with either a green olive or a twist of lemon (a strip of the peel, usually squeezed or twisted to express volatile oils onto the surface of the drink).While the standard martini may call for a four to one ratio of distilled spirits to vermouth, aficionados of the dry martini may reduce the proportion of vermouth drastically for a drier martini. Connoisseurs boast of sweetening the cocktail by merely coating the glass with vermouth. The legend holds that Churchill would get as close to the vermouth bottle as to "look at it from across the room". On the other hand, some experts strongly object to this practice, arguing that a cocktail with one predominant ingredient is no cocktail at all, and furthermore, that the term "dry" has nothing to do with the gin-to-vermouth ratio, but with the use of dry, white, French vermouth instead of sweet, red, Italian vermouth.[5]A more recent development that further offends martini purists is the use of "martini" (or the suffix "-tini") to refer to any beverage served in a cocktail glass, such as the appletini, the chocolatini, or the pineapple martini.
What is the best martini?
A classic martini is made with vodka or gin. Lets say we're using vodka. Grab a glass and fill it with ice, add 10ml of dry vermouth and swill it around the glass, as to cover all of the ice, then pour out the excess vermouth. Add 75ml of good vodka, like ketel one or grey goose, then stir with a spoon until the top of the liquid reaches the top of the ice. Then serve with three olives on a cocktail stick, or alternatively you can use a twist of lemon peel. My preferred martini however is a "dirty" martini. This is made with 75ml of your good vodka, 5ml of dry vermouth, 5-10ml of the brine from the olive jar, and chuck a couple of olives in there as well. Lightly shake it up and double strain through a sieve or tea strainer into you martini glass. Serve with three olives on a cocktail stick. Just replace vodka for gin if you a gin martini.
