The only goodkind of martini is the rockafella kind.
Its quite technical to make and needs to be tuned to your personal tastebuds but the basics are as follows
2 measures of Vodka
1 measure dry vermouth (I personally prefer French vermouth not Italian but each to their own)
Crushed ice, strainer and a stirrer.
The crushed ice is critical, it must not be mush but must be small enough and in sufficient quantity to cool the vermouth very quickly and retain enough vermouth to flavour the drink properly.
So
Pour in vermouth over crushed ice, stir for 30 seconds.
Put strainer over cocktail shaker and throw vermouth away. The ice retains the perfect ammount of vermouth to flavour the drink.
Add vodka and shake vigourously for 20 to 30 seconds then drain shaker into martini glass.
PS
Three of these will get most people hammered

Equal parts vodka and gin plus dry vermouth stirred would give you a vespa martini.
this is the original martini drunk by bond in casino royal, it's named after a russian spy that he falls in love with and after she's killed he vowes never to drink it again.
Are you suggesting that Ian Flemming invented the Martini?

That's the one I was looking for, Bond was quite a drinker
