Reverse Martini
A Reverse Martini is just a normal Gin Martini made... in reverse? Kind of...Instead of being mostly Gin with a small amount of Vermouth to smooth things out, a Reverse Martini uses 60 mL of Dry Vermouth with 30 mL of Gin. It's not quite completely opposite, but it does create a very Vermouth forward drink with just a bit of Gin for good measure.The Reverse Martini is quite different from the standard, but it's worth trying for Martini fans. It may be too different for a side by side tasting, but fun nonetheless.
Ingredients
- 60 mL Dry Vermouth
- 30 mL Gin
- Garnish with an olive or lemon twist
Instructions

Notes
As this cocktail is mostly using Vermouth instead of Vodka, the alcohol content is going to be slightly lower (Vermouth being lower in alcohol volume than Vodka of course). That being said, you're still having 30 mL of Vodka, so it's not like this can be considered a light or low alcohol cocktail! But it's nice to know it's there if you want to dial things back just a little bit...
