I will try and invent a new martini in the mean time! You need to follow VampiressRN's lead on this. What you meant to say was "...invent a new bastardized martini". Sorry for being a STICKLER but a Martini really only means one thing, and it's made with gin and vermouth. If you're using vodka it is a Vodka Martini. The whole marketing misuse of the term Martini appalls me. What are these things? Is it really okay to call a drink a Martini just because it is served in a martini glass? What's up with that? Nevertheless, I do applaud VampiressRN for differentiating these things by calling them bastardized martinis.
