If you want cold gin, that's fine but it's not a martini.
Words to live by.
Also, living in a barn doesn't make you a cow and putting a drink in a martini glass doesn't make it a martini.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I had a dirty martini today. I like the way they taste. I did feel a little weird ordering a cocktail made with Maker's Mark at the top of the Palm Springs Tramway but I had to; it was called a Tramcar.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

According to Wikipedia, the very name may have come from Martini vermouth. So the vermouth would be the defining element...
...much like olives for muffulettas.

Herbaceous is what I avoid like the Black Death in, for instance, white wine. Like grassy Sauvignon Blancs. My palate is not a fan of the herbaceous ouevre.
See, I LOVE grassy sauvignon blancs, and dislike the fruity ones...but I hate juniper. So gin is not my friend. :)
But I like vodka with olive juice in it. I see it as no different than any other mixed drink. Barely even a drink my ass.

I stand with you, my vodka-and-olive-juice-drinking friend!
You're taking the carefully crafted botanicals of the gin and pouring the equivalent of ketchup all over it.
Mmmm. Ketchup.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So gin is not my friend.
Some gins are not as heavy on the juniper.
Barely even a drink my ass.
Well, you can drink it but it's a pretty blunt instrument.
I mean, you can drink the juice from the maraschino cherry jar but I wouldn't recommend it.

I used to make a drink called a Pink Dammit with maraschino cherry juice.

I like megan walker's Pink Punch.
I do too. When she adds a punchy rum!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Gin tastes like lighter fluid to me.
I'm a bourbon girl, like Teppy.
