Okay people. Let's get something straight.
That pink, blue or chocolate swill you're drinking? Yeah, it's not a martini. It's a cocktail served in a martini glass. That does not make it a martini.
A martini is gin, the barest hint of vermouth and olive. I will begrudgingly allow a vodka martini to be called such. BUT THAT IS IT! Full stop. The martini train stops there.
Seeing the words martini bastardized like the 20 and 30 something crowd has been doing the last few years sends my blood boiling. In fact I've walked out of places if I see they have a "martini menu". THERE IS NO MARTINI MENU. What is on a MARTINI MENU? Dry or Dirty?
Sure some of those cocktails taste delicious. But they are NOT martinis. If I would piss in a martini glass and drop a cocktail onion in the yellow brine, THAT would be closer to a martini than an "appletini".

Re: Non-drinker question
Yeah I may have been a bit unclear in that regard.
For the life of me though? I've never seen anyone order a sweet martini. Only thing I use sweet vermouth for (cocktailwise) is for negronis.
