Mad Men cocktail guide
A few days ago I stumbled upon the Mad Men Cocktail Guide. It's a list of 1960's cocktails complete with recipes and pictures. Seeing that the martini is made by rinsing the glass with the vermouth, then pouring out the vermouth, I'd say the recipes are based on how the drinks were made during that era. Interestingly, though, the Manhattan on the page actually uses its share of vermouth, but still uses a very small proportion of vermouth if not a "whisper."

I agree, it does look like the cocktails are more in a 1960s style.
That's the worst Mint Julep recipe I've ever seen :-)
A friend of mine does the same thing with Martini's: all gin and a whisper of vermouth. She literally spritzes it in.
