The Italians like their sweet-and-salty combos and the garnish of melon balls wrapped with Prosciutto hark to one of their more famous appetizers – prosciutto e melone.

Vermouth or no? Shake or stir? What type of gin? Bitters? Lemon? Olive? Just give me a martini already. But as with everything worthwhile, your cocktail isn’t going to be any better than what you put into it. But with good ingredients and thoughtful preparation, you can’t go wrong. With the martini, it comes down to preference. The best way to make it is the way you like it. Some gins are mellow, some floral, some savory. Try a few and pick your favorite. We like Bombay Dry because of its earthiness and its affinity for the fennel in the salami. And we use vermouth. None of this “wave the bottle over the top” nonsense. Add it in. It smooths out the drink and adds a definitive flavor.
