This is a martini that's about as wet as it gets, and it happened to be Julia Child's favorite cocktail. It's one part gin to five parts vermouth. "It's a great, crisp summer drink," said Ben Ward, the head bartender at Libation. It's also much closer in spirit to the way dry vermouth is consumed in Europe - as a solo aperitif, rather than a meek cocktail modifier.
