Ernest Hemingway liked his martinis very dry. Reputedly he said that the proper ratio was that if the gin were the size of an eyeball the vermouth would be the size of a tear. More specifically (as in his 1951 novel "Across the River and into the Trees," he wanted a Montgomery, with a 15:1 proportion -- the reference was to the British field marshal Bernard Law Montgomery who (Hemingway thought) would not attack his foe unless he had a 15:1 advantage.
