Calling a mixed drink with vodka a martini is like calling a patty of turkey meat a hamburger (or turkey burger, if you will).

Drink gin or call it something else, dammit.

This thread inspired me, and I needed a drink tonight. Took my shaker, poured a bit of vermouth in, swirled around and poured it out. Added ice, Bobmay Sapphire, shook well, poured, added 3 small olives.
