Best Answer

A dry martini is a cocktail made with gin and dry vermouth. Martini Dry is a brand of dry vermouth, which is an ingredient in a dry martini. Martini Dry is also served on its own, often poured over ice cubes and garnished with a lemon twist or lemon wedge. Americans ordering martinis in Europe are often surprised when they get a glass of Martini Dry instead of a dry martini cocktail.
