The concept of the 50/50 was to go into the opposite direction of a "dry martini", which is to use less dry vermouth. So, to make your martini less dry you had more dry vermouth to counter your dry gin. Yet, this still isn't sweet.
Notes:
Vermouth forward blast of flavor, very spirit forward and "boozy."

Not to be confused with the single-word form of the “Southside”, the Chicago South Side is a similar variation that brings Angostura into the mix. Unlike the Southside, however, this cocktail calls for lime juice over lemon juice and London Dry Gin over American Gin.
Notes:
Lovely aromatic flavor of trade spices, gin botanicals and acidity. Just a great drink.
This cocktail is also documented in the 1931 publication Old Waldorf Bar Days by Albert Stevens Crockett (page 127). In this publication, the cocktail was designed as a rum-based recipe with a bit of grenadine.
Notes:
Raspberry sweetness mingled with floral juniper with a light dry citrus mid-palate that finishes sweet and silky with raspberries and gin.

Carl Brown's herbal creation which is a variation on the traditional gin gimlet, we make it with real sour not lime concentrate.
Notes:
Herbal dill, mild sour and floral gin components mingled together in a symphony of flavor
Some dedicated cocktail historians will tell you it was originally made with cognac over gin, but that’s still highly contested. Initially created at the New York Bar in Paris, the alcohol kick is like being shelled by a French 75mm field gun and thus you have “The French 75.”
Notes:
Citrus and sparkling wine beginning into a slight off-dry floral mid-palate finishing with a lingering sweet malty citrus.
This drink does not have a formal history, as a matter of fact, we don't know where it came from (it was a fan submission) but it was tasty and worthy of our database.
Notes:
A juicy flavorful citrus against a subtle gin that's easy to taste and a great pool side beverage. The gin does hide pretty well however.

Light and refreshing juniper notes with a creeping tonic bite that finishes clean.

You can create a “Fix” with any core spirit, as documented on page 135 of How To Mix Drinks by Jerry Thomas. Most accurately, a “fix” is typically served shaken with ice and served over ice, while a sour is shaken with ice but served in a chilled glass without ice.
Notes:
Tastes like alcoholic lemonade

Minty sweetness with a hint of backend ginger flavor
One historical theory behind the Martini is that it was all born out of a modified Martinez cocktail in California during the 1800s gold rush. A variation on this theory involves a miner on their way to Martinez California requesting a drink and the Martini was born.
Notes:
Potent gin botanical attack, fortified wine and an off-dry finish
