Being a former bartender I can tell you that a martini is made with gin unless specified "vodka martini."

In my case it would be a Bombay Saphire Martini a bit dirty! (I'm with you Joe)

Just an aside... The mayor of Las Vegas (Oscar Goodman) is endorsed by Bombay Saphire. (I think he gets free booze or something) For those who don't know him, he was Bugsy S. and other mobster's lawyers during that period in Vegas history. He was in the movie "Goodfella's" too. I am including a post to a story about the time he told a fourth grade class if he was stranded on a desert island what would be the one thing he would want? "A bottle of gin," he said.
