The Sweet Martini reflects an earlier style of Martini, before the shift toward drier profiles became dominant. It uses sweet vermouth rather than dry, creating a softer and more rounded drink. It shows how tastes have evolved.
The vermouth plays a much larger role in the balance. The result is less sharp and more approachable. It sits closer to drinks like the Gin and It.
Why Lush Life Loves It
I like this when I want something in the Martini family that is not so booze forward. The sweetness of the Old Tom Gin and sweet vermouth make it feels easier to drink.
