Clark Gable’s iconic martini technique involved using a vermouth-soaked cork to create a flavorful yet invisible rim on the glass, enhancing the gin.
Gable's 1958 film "Teacher's Pet" shows his method of preparing a martini, where he uses a wetted cork to trace around the glass rim.
The classic martini, as popularized by Gable, uses gin stirred with vermouth, but with Gable's method, the vermouth is just for the rim.
The traditional martini relies on dry vermouth to produce its herbaceous and tart flavors, distinct from the sweeter variations.
