I don't understand the attractionSmaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

Vodka martini.I suspect this is a cultural thing...
In the US, sometime in the mid-seventies, bars started offering vodka martinis. Just like a gin martini, but with vodka.
Then -- you had to start asking to get gin in your martini.
Now, most bad bartenders assume when you ask for a 'martini' you mean with vodka. Worse, this has created mutant offspring like the 'Appletini' -- which is vodka with sour apple liqueur.
A martini has gin, vermouth, lemon bitters (if you can find it), and ice, at least in my reality.
