ps this is my preference

 1 part cinzano bianco (vermouth)
 3 or 4 parts gin 
 tiny peice of lemon skin (I don't like vegetables in my drinks)

Classic martini only has a tiny bit of vermouth, half a teaspoon or even less,
but I like my version best.

Use chilled glasses and it should be shaken(!) with ice then drained off the
ice. It should be ice cold, that is why it is shaken. Add the lemon after
shaking and draining. You can't bruise something as nasty as gin.

You can subsititue vodka but only wankers drink vodka martinis.

An "Okazaki Martini (TM)" is equal parts gin and vodka with a touch of lemon
juice. It tastes like shit and only white spirit alcholics like me should drink
it and then only after heaps of beer. No amount of olives will improve it.
