New Variations

I agree that, though most variations should be omitted (as has been done), the official International Bartenders Association (IBA) variations specified on many pages on Wikipedia (including IBA_Official_Cocktail and even the footer of this page itself) should be included. Variations such as: Martini (Dry), Martini (Perfect), and Martini (Sweet) are valid, time tested versions (unlike the modern "Appletini" or "Chocolate Martini") and have actual references in the URLs themselves.

I completely agree. I was redirected here while searching for recommended proportions regarding perfect martinis. It wouldn't take more than one or a few sentences, but I think as long as the redirect is there, it makes sense to mention it in the article.

Picture for the article

I suggest finding a new picture in the place of the second photo in this article, since serving a Martini -or any other drink for this matter- with two olives is considered a faulty serving. There always should be one or three olives, or none if someone order it "naked". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.164.194.198 (talk) 18:24, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

'In popular culture'?

I suggest an 'in popular culture' section. Dorothy Parker's poem doesn't really fit in the 'preparation' section as it's about drinking martinis, not making them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kilburn London (talk • contribs) 13:29, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Savoy Cocktail Book says shaken, not stirred

I checked my 2011 edition of the Savoy Cocktail book. It says that martinis are shaken, not stirred. This shook me a bit. I updated the main page. Does anyone have a copy of Savoy which says stirred?

Vodka "Martini"

Since many people refer to vodka cocktails as "martinis", some explanation of this change of the use of the word "martini" is justified, and an explanation as to why vodka cocktails are not properly considered "martinis". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.102.33 (talk) 21:31, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization

All other cocktail names are capitalized except this one. It differentiates it from the vermouth, I guess, but doesn't seem very logical. 85.157.76.57 (talk) 08:53, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
