When the whole "martini craze" picked up a few years ago I was irked to no end when lounges and bars would try to be all hip by coming out with a "Martini Menu". The trouble was that most of them didn't even have a martini on them. A real martini has gin and vermouth in it. I'll make a slight exception for the vodka martini. Heck, use Italian sweet vermouth in it if you want. Just don't mix up some vodka, fruit juice and kool aid, pour it in a martini glass and declare it to be a martini. I have nothing against those drinks but the type of glass it is served in does not classify the drink. If it did I'd pour wine into a water glass and tell people that I'd been drinking water all day...

Gin and vermouth, or vodka martinis. None of the fancy-pants crap. I make chocolate ones for my wife. She refers to them as "panty-removers".
