Just because you put a tail into a martini glass does not make it a martini.

If I pour a rye and coke into a pint glass it doesn't become beer, it's still a rye and coke.
Don't get me wrong, I've gone for fauxtinis from time to time, and some of them are really good, but they aren't martinis.

Martini snob.
