A perfect martini: Kettle One, dirty, up, 3 olives mmmmm
Well at least thats mine. I will look up a real perfect martini though. Never heard of that before but I never met a martini I didn't like.

Well, since I have been drinking them for 50 years, I guess I know what a Martini is and what is being called a Martini these days is just a mixed drink and not a Martini

Martini

2 ounces Vodka or Gin
1 teaspoon to 2 tablespoon white Vermouth (depends on your taste)
Stir do not shake put into ice cold glasses
olives
You can put a little olive juice and a couple of drops of bitters for a Dirty Martini

Did you know it's both a noun and adjective? If somebody says..Hey I'm looking for the perfect martini recipe...then that's different than saying I'm looking how to make a perfect martini. As a published bartender of 13 yrs I would think you would know better. Now stop being such a tool.

Edit*** Nope...5 mins later...you're still a "perfect" tool

My,My, such a temper. Find old Boston recipe books from the 40's, 50's and the 60's and the 90's. You will see how drink tastes have changed over the years and the recipes have changed accordingly.
There is absolutely no etched in stone recipe for any mixed drink, it what the customer wants or how a person wants it.
Names and recipes change geographically, even in very short distances.
Liqour distributors print recipes only using their product even if the original recipe called for a competitor's. Causes confusion on recipes.
Lighten up a little and you might be able to get a bartending job where you aren't sitting at home on a money night.

Oh, and a good bartender shouldn't have to look things up, memorize it. And just because some one has it on web or it is in a book doesn't make it the ultimate authority. Wikipedia gleaned its' info from old school bartenders so they could post it on the web. You know, the "old timers", who knew how to bartend and started the entire flair thing before the movie "Cocktails".
