one woman's refreshing aperitif is another's toxic waste, I guess...

A martini is
gin
and
vermouth
, dammit.
And all those vermouth-phobic "vodka martini" drinkers (that ain't a martini, folks, that's a glass of chilled straight vodka) can pass the
vermouth bottle
down to me — I'll give it a loving home.

I do like a dry martini, which means minimal vermouth, but I agree with you that gin is the key ingredient.

What they said.
Chilled vodka that *tastes like water*.
WTF?
Why not have freaking water, then have a shot that you like?

I
know
, right???
And people act like there's not more than one kind of vermouth, too. :: shakes head with haughty sad pity ::
I love vermouth. It's its own entity. One of my favorite wines to cook with, too.
