Article title/location[edit]

Shouldn't there be a disambiguation page for this? I'm pretty sure dryness can (and mostly does) refer to amount of liquid water in a mixture/substance. Usually given as a measurement by dryness fraction or dryness factor. I'm new to editing wikipedia though, so i'm hesitant to actually add it to the page labled a drinks stub, can someone who is more familiar with the normal process do whatever it is that needs to be done?

I agree. I'll move dryness to alcohol sense and dryness to dry. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:41, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

alcoholic beverages[edit]

It should be amended that dryness is pertaining to "only alcoholic beverages." Gus is a soda company that touts a line of grown up sodas that are less sweet than their counterparts, that are packaged under the guise of "dry" sodas.

Contradiction between this article and Martini (cocktail)[edit]

The article Martini (cocktail) says "The dryness of a martini, referring to the ratio of gin to vermouth." This article says "Contrary to popular belief, in a dry martini "dry" refers to the type of vermouth used, sweet or dry, not the amount of vermouth used in the drink." Which is it? 50.191.22.227 (talk) 02:29, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article is completely wrong. Dryness (taste) refers to the amount of neat spirit in a cocktail. A 100% dry drink is a glass of neat spirit from a bottle with 0 dilution. Dry Martinis are referred to as such because a 6:1 Martini is 85% neat spirit (not accounting for dilution), therefore it is a very dry drink, but a Dry Martini can be made with sweet vermouth as well and not necessarily have to use dry vermouth, just in even smaller proportions and still be a Dry Martini.
