Can you imagine James Bond asking for a chocolate butterscotch martini, or an apple martini, lemon drop martini or prickly pear martini? Unlikely for the suave superspy.
你能想象詹姆斯·邦德点一杯巧克力奶油糖果马提尼，或一杯苹果马提尼、柠檬马提尼、又或者是仙人掌果马提尼的情景吗？对于这个温文尔雅的超级间谍来说似乎不大可能。
Putting a drink in a longstemmed V-shaped glass does not make it a martini. A martini is this: gin and dry vermouth. And maybe an olive or two. Or a twist of lemon peel. It is ice cold and crystal clear, not green or pink.
不是说将酒倒入V 形高脚玻璃杯就是马提尼。马提尼应该是这样的：杜松子酒和涩苦艾酒混合，还可以装饰一两个橄榄，或一片柠檬皮。它应该口感冰爽，颜色是无色透明的，而不是呈绿色或粉色。
A martini recipe appears as early as 1882 in a bartender’s manual, although in addition to gin and vermouth, it calls for sweet syrup. Over the years, the martini got drier and drier.
马提尼的调制方法早在1882 年就出现在一个调酒师的调制手册中，但是除了杜松子酒和苦艾酒外，他还要求加入糖浆。不过这些年来，马提尼越来越不甜了。
