Dryness (taste)

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Dryness is a property of

distilled spirits, or any other beverage.[2]

In a

dry martini, "dry" originally referred to the inclusion of dry gin, however it is often incorrectly used to refer to the amount of vermouth used in the drink. A "perfect" martini – or any other cocktail that uses vermouth, such as a Perfect Manhattan – is a martini made with equal parts dry and sweet vermouth.[3]
