1/4 Sweet Vermouth (1/2 oz Cocchi Vermouth di Torino)
1/4 Dry Vermouth (1/2 oz Noilly Prat)
1 dash Orange Bitters (Regan's)
Stir without ice. Pour into a cocktail glass rinsed with Benedictine.
After the Caricature, I began flipping through the Café Royal Cocktail Book and spotted a curious room temperature, non-diluted recipe called the Toothful. The drink was created by U.K. Bartender's Guild member V.A. Tooth, and it was rather reminiscent of the Rolls Royce from the Savoy Cocktail Book.

I thought the perfect martini was gin with equal parts of sweet and dry vermouth.
