I personally settled on 5:1 or 2.5oz gin 0.5oz vermouth. I like what vermouth adds to the drink but I want the gin to be the star of the show.
As for garnish, I find myself preferring a lemon twist most of the time. If I am in the mood for an olive instead I may give it a quick rinse so that I’m not adding a ton of brine to my drink.
