If you order a Bone Dry Martini, you’re basically asking the bartender to wave a vermouth bottle in the general direction of your glass. That means your drink is almost 100% gin or vodka—a full 3 ounces of spirit. That’s two shots of pure, unapologetic confidence. It’s the drink equivalent of wearing a tuxedo to a barbecue.
You feel like a king for the first ten minutes. Then you forget where you put your car keys. And your coat. And your dignity.

The "Gibson" Surprise
Don’t even get me started on a Gibson—that’s a Martini with a cocktail onion instead of an olive. The onion does not change the shot count, but it does change your life’s trajectory. You go from “I’ll have just one” to “Why is this onion so calming?” in under four sips. Two shots later, you’re convinced raw onions are a personality trait.
It’s a slippery slope. One Gibson is a sophisticated choice. Two Gibsons is a cry for help. Three is a hazy memory of you trying to pickle yourself.
