So, I would love to know your recipe. Because that’s where I’d guess you fucked it up.
I would guess you used vodka and used either too much vermouth or too little. (I’d guess you used too little rather than too much…) But what do I know?
You used dry vermouth, not sweet?

Who uses sweet vermouth in a martini? That’s a different drink.
Martinis are gin or vodka and extra dry vermouth.

Some very early martini recipes call for equal parts gin and sweet vermouth. There’s been a century-long trend toward dryer and dryer martinis until we arrive at the modern recipe:
fill a tumbler full of ice, add three ounces of gin, pour half an ounce of dry vermouth down the sink next door, stir, strain into a cocktail glass, garnish with a green olive.

That is absolutely correct.
I was asking the op if he used sweet vermouth to determine if op used sweet vermouth.
