Martinis in the US usually come with vodka from my experience, so you need to tell them which spirit.

I get straight vodka but in a martini glass so no one looks at me weird.

This isn’t the 1950’s anymore. Vodka martinis are now the default, so you need to specify if you want gin.

Please explain the proper way to eat the olives.. I sometimes put one at a time on the bread dish and then use my knife and fork to cut it up into small pieces.

Martinis nowadays are so often made with vodka that you actually do need to say you want it with gin

As a bartender, if you say “I’ll have a martini” there will be 20 follow up questions. The first being “do you want gin or vodka”. Some context would be amazing on what you like. And if you’ve never had a martini before, tell me that. I’ll make it how I think a first time person would be able to enjoy it.

In the US you need to specify what brand of liquor you would like, otherwise they will use well or call which is lower quality. Also.. straight up is an option! Not dry wet or dirty

Wetter is unappetising? Would more moist be better?

And don’t listen to that shaken not stirred nonsense a real Martini is always stirred to allow for the dilution of the ice into the Spirit

Wetter does not mean less spirit. A martini is 2oz of gin and however much vermouth is requested. I personally like a whole oz, but regardless you get the same amount of spirit no matter how wet or dry you order it.

I always want to try one but I’m so scared! I do love a pickle martini and I do like olives, so I should get a filthy dry vodka martini?

Does wet mean less spirit more vermouth or just more vermouth added?
