Even the olive, while not liquid, is kinda mushy.
Is a dehydrated olive a thing? I hate olives with a passion, but maybe that’s a thing my wife would like.
When you get them on pizza they are kinda dried out, so I imagine so?
Well, duh, to make a dry martini, you are suppose to dry all the liquid ingredients in a tumble dryer first before you mix them, of course.
Why else do you think James Bond always asks for his “dry” vodka martini to be “shaken, not stirred”?

As you obviously understand the best way to properly dry a martini (what kind of loon would line dry the component liquids), you have my vote!
My buddy went to the bar at university and asked for a manhattan to see what they’d do, they handed him a bud light.
I was wondering this too, so I looked it up
From Google:
First, ‘dry’ indicates that very little vermouth has been added to the cocktail, so the gin is the primary focus. The typical ratio is 6 parts gin to 1 part vermouth. However, order ‘extra dry’ and you’ll get the slightest splash of vermouth, or even just a glass-coating wash.
When talking about alcoholic drinks, “dry” is just the opposite of sweet. Vermouth has a slight sweetness to it, so use less vermouth to make the drink “dry”.
Personally I like my martinis “dirty” (extra olive juice), with a good amount of vermouth. Sweet and salty with the floral notes of the gin in the background. If I wanted to just taste the gin then I’d put it in a shot glass and drink it straight instead.
I just want to second the dirty gin martini.
I’ve never been a fan of the martini, but dirty gin is excellent.
Slow your roll there, cowboy!
What’s a vermouth
It’s just the mouth parts of animals like rats and stuff.
Pro tip: Use molten lava. Lava is a liquid, but I don’t think anyone describes it as “wet”.
Lava doesn’t adhere to a surface like water, it won’t climb the walls of it container slightly. That is to say, it won’t wet a surface, like water or flux will.
At least I don’t think any kinds of lava or magma do. Maybe there’s a variety that does?
Water is just the lava of ice.
Maybe there’s a variety that does?
Magma from borax, lime, or galena? All are definitely minerals and definitely fluxes.
Idiot. You’re supposed to mix a nartinit, drink it, and give her the dry glass. Bro probably just cock blocked himself.
When your dick is a non-orientable, self-intersecting manifold.
Add additional liquids to make a liquor dry. It’s practically chemistry!
I don’t get this one.
Martini is a drink made from liquids?
Yeah, but I was reading it to myself in my head and the statement sounds incomplete. Like the guy hit “tweet” too soon and then just didn’t correct it
I’ll explain as if your first language is not English.
Dry means something that has no moisture in it, like sand can be dry or wet.
Obviously something dry contains no moisture or liquids.
A Martini is a cocktail, mixed from mostly gin and vermouth. In this context, dry means “little vermouth”, so the taste of the gin is most prevalent.
So the joke is between the two different meanings of the word, as obviously a dry cocktail makes no sense if you take the first meaning of the word.
See? I don’t drink alcohol I don’t know these terms
“I’l have …” - No, you don’t. You may get it, if you ask for it. I hate when people use that snobby way of stating that they already have what they trying to get!
