 Martini   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)

A "martini with a kiss," for example, is a drink in which gin is poured into a glass, along with a garnish, but the vermouth is omitted—the bottle is merely tapped on the glass, which is supposed to signify the kiss.
Hemmingway is said to have enjoyed his martinis at a gin and vermouth ratio of 15 to 1 (the standard ratio is 3 or 4 to 1).

 Straight Dope Staff Report: Why did James Bond want his martinis shaken, not stirred?
A traditional martini (as opposed to a vodka martini) is made with gin, dry vermouth and either an olive or a lemon peel.
Well, because martini purists such as your correspondent are snobs, whereas vodka martini drinkers are more open to experimentation and allow more variations to carry the name of their drink.
Second, shaking a martini dissolves air into the mix; this is the "bruising" of the gin you may have heard seasoned martini drinkers complain about--it makes a martini taste too "sharp." Third, a shaken martini will more completely dissolve the vermouth, giving a less oily mouth feel to the drink.

The water is added to a Martini from the ice that is used to mix it with, often this is from 3/4 to 1 full ounce of water, depending on how much ice is used, what size the ice is, and how long it is stirred (or shaken).
And so I expect that the "Vodka Martini" has become so popular is because few have really had a chance to try a really well balanced Gin Martini.

With the resurgence in popularity of the martini, the name itself has become a "catch all." As an example, just as all cotton swabs are not "Q-tips," and all adhesive bandages are not "Band Aids," not everything that comes in a martini glass is a martini.
