Martinis = gin, obviously. And you must have the proper proportion of vermouth. Those that use only a " breath" of vermouth should just drink straight liquor cause they're not drinking a martini.

But, I'm a live and let live type of person. Enjoy what you like.

Update.

Horrendous bartender consulted book too often. She muddled but then put all contents into a shaker poured all into a glass. To the places credit it was an old fashioned glass. Also they made the best hamburger I have had in a long time. I then stuck to beer. I know what I'm talking about with beer and all she had to do is pull handle.

Next OF I have will be made by me or a bartender in his 50's. Or a hipster bartender. Not a hipster fan but I bet he will know how to make one.

So I'm assuming you have a formula for a breath?

I don't think it's "obvious" that a martini is gin. I can find as much documentation saying vodka is fine as I can for gin.

And for what it's worth I drink good gin martinis as well. Matter of fact I am having brunch at Diguilios and will step over some invisible line and have a nice gin martini this morning. Hell, I might have two, I've got a driver.

And I do agree that flavored aren't true.
