I think so Provided they are made with Bombay Sapphire or Tanqueray Gin and extra dry vermouth. Remember, one is not enough and three is too many...

I have no doubt that some martini purists will be horrified that drinks made from ingredients other than vodka, gin, and vermouth are called a "martini", but I think these martinis may appeal to a much wider audience.

What's your pick?

Vodka martini with two olives.

Pomegranate.

I make raspberry martinis and even hard core "regular" martini people love 'em.

Vodka (rasp flavored or regular, I like Stoli), chambord and sweet/sour mix, shaken in martini shaker, served ice cold. Addictive.

[sophialee]

Any.

I know that I am not a traditional martini drinker as I don't drink gin. The juniper berry taste is not to my liking.

I keep different bottles of vodka in the freezer. I just like my ice cold and straight up.

I currently have Tito's, Chopin and Vox stashed away in the freezer drawer.

vodka, couple of drops of vermouth, couple of cannonball olives stuffed with jalapeno, on ice, shaken not stirred.

Used to like the Apple martinis but I sorta like a sweeter drink lately...

Stoli or Smirnoff icy cold on rocks-just pass the vermouth bottle over (closed), onions or a jalapeno.
