Fitty-Fitty Martini

Laura Edwards

BY The Editors

PUBLISHED December 2, 2024

This modern classic by American mixologist Audrey Saunders is a nod to the vermouth-heavy Martinis of yesteryear. She launched it in 2005, at a time when the ultra-dry Martini was at its peak of popularity – I think it’s fair to say this one drink had a lot to do with the ensuing vermouth renaissance.

The equal-parts ratio has the strange effect of amplifying the flavours of everything, yet it’s more easy-drinking than a regular Dry Martini. Saunders recommends drinking it with food and especially fish. – Alice Lascelles
