"Martini drinkers: What gives?"


  

          

Recently I've been trying to cultivate a taste for martinis because on paper they sound appetizing but in practice...? I'm gagging.

I've been using Skyy vodka and Gallo vermouth:

2 shots vermouth to shot of of vodka ratio. A tablespoon of olive juice, shaken and drained over ice.

Wanna dig it...but it ain't happening.

Is it cheap ingredients? Ratio's off? What's ya'lls recipe?
