Wendy,
The alcohol portion of drinks with mixers should be 1/4 to 1/3 (this is with a
spirit and a modifier). You don't mention the oz size of your Martini glass.
Since 1999 cocktail/Martini glasses went from 5 oz to a whopping 12 oz due to
mixers being added. What size is your glass?
Do you have a measuring tool (jigger)? Can you give us the exact recipe you
are pouring? I'd love to hear what flavors you like so I can bump you up a
notch from what you are currently drinking.
