How to remember it
The master copy: clear, cold and dry, finished with an olive. Every martini on the list is this drink with just one thing changed.
Drink family: French-Italian · Spirit + vermouth
Clear spirits (gin, vodka) usually take dry vermouth; brown spirits (whiskey, brandy) take sweet.
Same shape on your sheets: Dry Martini, Dirty Martini, Gibson, Perfect Martini
Memory tricks are written for this app; only the acronym is printed on the sheet. Drink families are Gary Regan's, from The Joy of Mixology.
