History

A 2:1 Dry Martini, arguably better than gin or vodka comparisons.

This drink is adapted from Megs Miller's Mex Martini. Crucially, its character is defined by her recommendation to use a bianco vermouth or bianco Americano. Megs prefers a lemon zest twist, but the author contends that where tequila is present, lime is essential, along with Margarita Bitters.
