I use gin, vodka is for faggots. I use dry vermouth in a ratio of about 3 parts gin to 2 parts vermouth. It's kind of an old timey recipe. And an olive or two. Or I'll make a gibson with a cocktail onion.

If anyone calls anything a *tini because it is served in a martini glass they are a faggot and you should kill them.

The only beverage on earth that is a martini is made with gin, vermouth and an olive.

EDIT:I drink them out of mugs. I have broken around 20 martini glasses in my life and I gave up on them.
