Category:Martinis

There is some confusion over this category because there are many drinks which are named Martinis, but don't fall into the Martini category, much like the Singapore Sling does not fall under the Sling category. Some examples of confusingly named drinks include the Cowboy Martini (which is built more along the lines of an Old-Fashioned), and the Extra Dry Martini (a euphemism for a measure of chilled gin).

Generic classification

• 1 part liquor
• 1 part fortified wine or low-proof liqueur

Shake & strain.

Variations

• Using smaller amounts of two fortified wines or liqueurs instead of a larger amount of one, as in the Negroni.
