I have to support the_marq, Val_1, Cynthetic, and onesnowyowl: as far as martinis go, being a purist is the only way for me.
Bombay Sapphire, chilled, with a spritz of vermouth (absolutely no more than that, I would like to be able to measure the volume of vermouth in molecules and counting on my fingers), and olives that have been soaking in Bombay Sapphire.
I never liked olives growing up, but having experienced the singular pleasure that is Bombay Sapphire, I now understand why olives exist - they are the partner to Bombay, a match that, no doubt, was pre-ordained by God on the 3rd day when he created plant life, and on the 6th day when he created humans who had the ability, eventually, to make Bombay Sapphire and put olives in it, chilled, with some thought about vermouth.
When drinking such a beverage (the only one deserving of the name Martini) in the company of friends, we are truly following God's path, and fulfilling the purpose of our humanity.
