Everyone wants a Vodka martini because of James Bond movies.. I prefer Vodka straight and gin in my martinis.

Would that be a vodka beverage with one onion or two?

O.k. I prefer vodka and dry vermouth mixed together you crotchety old fart.

If it weren't for the olives in my martinis I would have starved long ago.

Oh and mine is made with Vox, Bombay Sapphire, Grey Goose, or Hendrick's; shaken; dirty.

A Martini for me is Gin and Vermouth. Anything else is surplus to requirements, doesn't need to be ice cold, room temp is fine. Doesn't need to be shaken, measures splashed in to the bottom of a long glass and replaced when empty does me just fine.

I love the stuff. Gin is a favored spirit of mine. That and scotch.

Ditto, I can't bear Gin, even the smell makes me heave

I have to agree with Slartibartfast about the blue-cheese stuffed olives. They are great, especially when dropped into ice cold Kettle 1 with a splash of vermouth!

+1. I despise the term 'tini' being added to any drink name just because it's served in a ****tail glass. Gin/vodka, vermouth, olive/twist. Period.

damn...this is making me hungry
