So I'm assuming you have a formula for a breath?
I'm assuming that it's less than the traditional ratio, but I suppose I could be wrong.

I don't think it's "obvious" that a martini is gin.
For those of us that are traditionalist prescriptivists, sure it is.

I can find as much documentation saying vodka is fine as I can for gin.
So why don't you consider flavored as true martinis, since I can find just as much documentation saying they are martinis?
As I mentioned, enjoy what you want. I'm really not trying to be a dick about it. I just find the discussion interesting from an academic perspective.

Fair enough. Now I do.
Nothing really academic about a martini but I'd have to say my liver is a PHD candidate.
Not taken as a dick. Taken as a thread extender per my original post. I don't drink old fashions so this was the only way I could participate.
