 Martini (cocktail) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While variations are many, a standard modern martini is a five to one ratio, made by combining approximately two and a half ounces of gin and one half ounce of dry vermouth with ice.
During this martini renaissance, vodka supplanted gin as the most commonly requested base spirit, and nouveau variations proliferated: the green apple martini, the chocolate martini, etc. Whether the more extreme variations of this era may truly be called martinis remains a topic of debate.
Although the original Russian vodka martini is still popular, colorful, flavored vodka martinis are rapidly becoming the trend of new drinkers, as well as the vodka veterans.

Some consider the Cosmopolitan to be a version of a classic martini, flavoured with just a smidgen of fruit juice and Cointreau; for others it is a long, refreshing drink.

At which point you'll inevitably get an orange drink and a reddish drink in two separate glasses and will be charged for two separate drinks.
Even when the drink arrives in the same glass, the combination will rarely be to your liking and it may reach the point where if the barman asks 'What's a Madras?', you'll politely excuse yourself and find another bar.
If you ask for a Madras and the bartender nonchalantly nods and turns away, you have just found either a very talented bartender, or a competent poker-face.

Luis the barman started us off with some Kristal vodka served at the perfect temperature along with a Russian beer.
The Dover Sole was also perfectly cooked; flaking away at the knife and melting away in the mouth due to the mix of Shrimps and Capers.
For desert, I opted for the Strawberries and Wisinowka (Cherry) vodka, which whilst a little too sweet for me, was an excellent companion to the fresh Strawberries.

 James Bond 007 :: MI6 - The Home Of James Bond
If being the central character to the world's most famous and most successful film franchise is not enough, Ian Fleming's creation can lay claim to one other pop culture icon - the vodka martini.
Now popular in bars throughout the Western world, and more so following the 2006 big screen adaptation of "Casino Royale" when 007 invents the drink, the vodka martini is as synonymous with 007 as the Walther PPK, the Aston Martin DB5 or the sight of a beautiful girl hanging off his gun arm.
In addition the drink is a perfect aperitif - it cleanses the mouth before eating - and the tiny air bubbles restrict the gin (or vodka) from reaching all tastebuds.
