A martini is gin (or vodka), vermouth and anolive or a twist. An onion makes it a gibson, not a martini. While I am not at all adverse to vodka martinis (Skye Vodka does make a wonderful vodka martini) I do prefer mine with gin. Plymouth, Sapphire or Hendrick's preferred. Recently I have really been getting into Hendricks. it make for a really spectacular martini. Add a little Noilly Pratt and shake it up nice so that it comes out nice a frosty. That's a martini! Spoken like a true connoisseur! I'm with you all the way.
