The Great Martini Question?
As a fan of the Classic Martini I've always been interested in how others prefer the Martinis...
So which type of classic Martini do you prefer: Gin or Vodka? and how do you like it made?
Me I'll only drink a Gin martini (Bombay Saphire being my econmical favourite) with the standard splash of Dry Vermouth and 3 olives.

Dirty vodka martini straight up, 3 olives.
I also like all of the girly fruity drinks like cosmopolitan, lychee martini, pomegranate martini, etc.

I'm a huge fan of the Godiva Martini. My friend made me one and I swear it was like drinking a little piece of heaven.
But if I'm the mood for the classic, I go with gin and 3 olives and very dirty.

Chocolate, chocolate mint, and white chocolate are my favorites.

I don't like martinis, but if I had to have one, it would be something that did not involve gin and olives, which I hate -- so what would be the point, right?

Dirty martini with 2 olives. No gin or vermouth, just vodka. I like the flavored martinis as well but I always feel like bartenders try to skimp me on the alcohol and just put a bunch of fruit juice or other ingredients in instead. With a classic martini, I feel like I get my money's worth.

Very dry Tanqueray gin martini, straight up with a twist. Very little vermouth.
There is a martini lounge not far from my house, where they make a delicious chocolate raspberry martini.

Vodka martini (preferably made with Grey Goose L'Orange) with a twist. Yum.
I also like the Lemon Drop martini if it's made with real lemon juice, vodka and a bit of sugar. That's SUPER yum.

gin if it's Tanqueray, vodka otherwise. I love classics (but no olives) but I'm a huge fan of flavored martinis, too. The place across from my job has AWESOME grapetinis.

Vodka up dirty, but not too dirty.
I had a fraternity brother who one time wanted to make martinis but the 21 year old who went to the liquor store forgot the vodka...sucker drank an entire bottle of vermouth...

What is this Dirty Martini you're all talking about??? I need to work on my booze terminology!
I guess my favorite martini is the kind made with Jack Daniels and Coke. Which, I also guess, doesn't count as a martini. But it's tasty nonetheless.

A dirty martini is called that because it has olive juice in it.
