💡 What's interesting
The 'Perfect' in its name refers to the balanced, equal ratio of vermouths, a technique that showcases the bartender's skill. Culturally, it represents a more nuanced, pre-Prohibition style of mixology, contrasting with the modern trend of very dry martinis with minimal vermouth.
