The newer the recipe, the less vermouth.
The original cocktail was (depending on the source) 2 parts vermouth to 1 part gin OR MORE.
In 1907 a popular recipe was 1/2 and 1/2 with bitters.
The most reasonable explaination for the name of the Martini comes from the Martini & Rossi brand of vermouth which was very popular in the 19th century, when the craft of the cocktail was really a craft, and not the crap you buy in Manhattan for way too much money. This name would imply that the primary ingredient was vermouth.
Make your martini with a good helping of dry vermouth and some medium grade gin, such as Tanqueray or Bombay. (You won't want to waste a super premium spirit by mixing it - like a Grey Goose Cosmo! Give me a break!)
If people want martinis without vermouth, why not just drink it straight from the bottle? It would be just as uncivilized.
Cheers!

A martini is supposed to be mostly gin with a splash of vermouth. I don't think more vermouth than gin would taste good - but you could try it.

Why would you want to? In any case, use the Vermouth first, then add a sprinkle of water, and then add gin to taste. If you are looking for a weaker martini, consider using a lower-proof booze, like snapps.

I echo the others--why would you do that? If it's that you don't like gin, then make a vodka martini.

It's extremely complicated...first, put in more vermouth than you put in gin...then, oh, wait, that's it.
