Hey! Yeah, I've played around with sweet martinis before. One thing I like to do is add a splash of fruit-flavored liqueur like peach or raspberry. It adds a nice sweetness without overpowering the drink. Sometimes I'll also use flavored syrups, like vanilla or caramel, to sweeten it up. Experimenting with different ratios of vermouth to gin helps too.

Despite their reputation for being dry, martinis can be made sweeter by adding syrups, fruit juices, or liqueurs like triple sec or liqueurs with fruit flavours. These additives provide a sweeter flavour profile by counterbalancing the gin or vodka's harshness.

If you prefer a sweeter martini, you can also muddle some fresh fruit like strawberries or raspberries in the bottom of the glass before adding the gin and vermouth! It adds a natural sweetness.
