That's an awful lot of work for a martini. Pre-chill overnight? As for the vermouth, any kind will do. Once your gin is in a glass, take the vermouth bottle cap and gently wave it (bottom side down) 3 times over the glass. That's it. Done.
Feel free to bow towards France before taking your first sip.
I always get a laugh from this black chicken:

Noilly Prat vermouth?
Then why in the hell is it called a Martini?
Edison Jr was just carrying on a family tradition. His daddy hoodwinked people into thinking electricity was more that a passing fancy which would still be around for years to come. A regular PT Barnum he was.
Seriously though his idea of DC High Voltage electricity died out rather quickly. Tesla & Westinghouse gave us the AC high & low voltage we still use today.
