But because it is such a simple cocktail—really just gin or vodka and vermouth—any change in preparation can alter the outcome drastically. Even switching between a lemon twist or an olive garnish can totally transform the drink. In this case, we’re swapping the traditional (sticklers might even say required) dry vermouth for sweet vermouth.
