Less dilution.

or try it and if you like it just do that

wayne roylance

this is the perfect example of "forcing a square peg into a round hole." a martini on the rocks is an abomination. if it's too hot for a martini, drink something else - like a gin & tonic!

Doc Landon

Use 1/4 of the vermouth to enjoy the full taste of the gin. I prefer Beefeater’s gin.

Bob

A martini gets an olive. Period. A vodka martini gets a twist, not gin.

Kim

Olive not lemon and less vermouth.

What is the point of using a mixing glass? Why not just mix it in the cocktail glass?
