This is a perhaps-inevitable iteration of the continuing evolution of the Dry Martini in American bartending. Legend has it that during the Trinity event - the first testing of an atomic device - a bottle of vermouth was hidden in the tower with the gadget itself. As a result, there is a definite statistical chance of literally- atomize d vermouth present over much of the region, if not the atmosphere - so one could now make the definitive, Atomic Age dry martini in the following manner:

Chill a martini glass well.

Shake 1 oz. gin with cracked ice.

Open window.

Wave glass outside, knowing that a few atoms of vermouth will settle into the glass.

Pour gin into glass.

Garnish.

et voila. This recipe was revealed to the world in a 1966 edition of the Sunday Boston Globe . Given J. Robert Oppenheimer 's prediliction for the martini , its veracity has not been questioned.
