Agreed. I always laugh when people claim to not want any in a martini. Then it's just a glass of gin (or vodka if you're not a traditionalist).

Pretty much, it just doesn't taste right otherwise.

With zero vermouth it tastes too much like Vodka drowned in olive juice, the vermouth seems to mellow it over just enough to make it smooth. Just a tiny bit though.

Well James Bond always drank a vodka martini.

I like both a good vodka or gin. I prefer a few drops of dry vermouth and I do like either with a few capers. I change garnishes from capers, onions, lemon twist. I like an anchovy stuffed olive in a vodka martini.

Very seldom do I drink them dirty however over the years I've had enough dirty martinis to float Mama Cass.
