Q: What is a Martini? (1.1)

A: Do you want the short answer or the long answer?

Q: The short one first, please.

A: A Martini is a cocktail containing unequal portions of gin and dry vermouth (in a ratio of somewhere between 2:1 and 15:1, inclusive) served chilled, in a conical stemmed glass, garnished with either a green olive or a lemon twist.

Q: OK, I’m ready for the long answer now.

I’ve shared this with dozens of people over email. This is an exceptional FAQ for the best cocktail.
