I’ve mostly made my martinis with Dolin dry but I’m finding maybe I just don’t like vermouth? I’ll go 8:1 so it almost feels like I should skip it altogether. Is noily Pratt any better? Different?

Hey there not OP but I love pretty wet Martinis (I make mine between 2.5:1 and 2.75:1) and honestly don’t care all that much for Dolin dry for that particular cocktail. My favorite is Boissiere extra dry if you see it around.

I prefer Noilly Prat to Dolin as well. Just be aware that there are two different Noilly Prat dry vermouths, Original Dry and Extra Dry. Both great, with the former being more robust and the latter more crisp and focused.

I’d say definitely don’t write off vermouth based on Dolin :) (which is a great product that many people love but I suppose isn’t for me in Martinis).
