A martini is a classic cocktail typically made with gin and dry vermouth, garnished with an olive or a lemon twist. It is known for its crisp and refreshing taste, making it a popular choice in bars and restaurants. The drink is often served in a distinctive conical glass called a martini glass. There are many variations of the martini, including the vodka martini, which substitutes vodka for gin. The drink has a rich history and is often associated with the fictional character James Bond, who famously orders his martinis "shaken, not stirred."
