    My buddy went to the bar at university and asked for a manhattan to see what they’d do, they handed him a bud light.

    I was wondering this too, so I looked it up

    From Google:

    First, ‘dry’ indicates that very little vermouth has been added to the cocktail, so the gin is the primary focus. The typical ratio is 6 parts gin to 1 part vermouth. However, order ‘extra dry’ and you’ll get the slightest splash of vermouth, or even just a glass-coating wash.

    Pro tip: Use molten lava. Lava is a liquid, but I don’t think anyone describes it as “wet”.

      Lava doesn’t adhere to a surface like water, it won’t climb the walls of it container slightly. That is to say, it won’t wet a surface, like water or flux will.

      At least I don’t think any kinds of lava or magma do. Maybe there’s a variety that does?

    Idiot. You’re supposed to mix a nartinit, drink it, and give her the dry glass. Bro probably just cock blocked himself.

    Well, duh, to make a dry martini, you are suppose to dry all the liquid ingredients in a tumble dryer first before you mix them, of course.

    Why else do you think James Bond always asks for his “dry” vodka martini to be “shaken, not stirred”?

      As you obviously understand the best way to properly dry a martini (what kind of loon would line dry the component liquids), you have my vote!
