My mum was famous (among friends and family) for her dry martinis. When she was asked how much vermouth to use, she would reply, "I drink a mouthful of vermouth and breath on the gin."
I tried a dirty martini. It wasn't bad, but I prefer them without the olive brine. I also prefer gin to vodka. I find it too "wimpy" tasting with vodka. I also prefer shaken, not stirred.
