Martini

You have to love the Martini because it’s made-to-order for each person, and that gives it style. Although the gin-and-vermouth formula is considered classic, the vodka-and-splash of vermouth may actually be more popular. After all, the iconic James Bond is often heard ordering a Vodka Martini. Interestingly, Bond orders different Martinis perhaps because a Martini is personal not only to the person, but also to the occasion.
