How much sugar in martinis?

Martini recipes vary greatly, so the amount of sugar can change significantly. Here's a breakdown:

Classic Dry Martini: This version is traditionally *very dry* and contains no added sugar. It's made with gin or vodka, dry vermouth, and a garnish like an olive or a lemon twist.

Sweet Martini: This version does include sugar, but the amount varies. Some recipes call for a sugar-rimmed glass or a dash of simple syrup (sugar dissolved in water). Others may use sweet vermouth instead of dry vermouth, which adds a touch of sweetness.

Here's what you need to know:

* No sugar is added in a "dry" martini.

* Sweetness varies widely depending on the recipe and personal preference.

* The sugar comes from either simple syrup, sweet vermouth, or a sugar-rimmed glass.

If you're concerned about sugar intake, you can choose a dry martini or ask your bartender to make it with less sugar.
