What is the relationship between.....

I just drank a bottle of this stuff while camping this past week-end. Excellent vodka.  We had it chilled, straight up, with a lemon twist. Is that still considered a martini? I don't think it is a martini without having a skosh of vermouth or the olive...

In the strictest sense of the word that isn't a martini... but it is still a mighty fine way to fill a glass 

When it comes to Martini's, i like to mix it up...

If you want to try something really extraordinary, may i suggest using a Tomolive in your next drink?
Tomolive = pickled green tomatoes... don't freak... they are amazing in a Vodka Martini

I also enjoy a Jalapeno stuffed olive in my martini's

And of course... you can never go wrong with the classic 

Cheers my friends!
