Sweet Martini

The Martini is known as the intelligent woman's drink.  The glass that is shaped like a triangle on top of a stem is named after this drink, the Martini Glass.  The olives soak up some of the alcohol and taste of the drink and olives, so if you love sweet vermouth, gin, and Olives, this drink is for you.  Keep in mind that this drink is an acquired taste, the reason for this is the sweet vermouth.  Vermouth is naturally bitter, so making it sweet really tweaks your palette.  If I see a woman drinking a Sweet Martini, she receives instant props.  The ingredients for a Sweet Martini are as follows:

1 oz Gin

1 oz Sweet Vermouth

1 Olive

Stir the Gin and the Vermouth with ice and strain into a cocktail glass, add the olive as a garnish and serve is a martini glass.  The Sweet Martini is an easy drink to prepare, and it is elegant.  If you can stand the taste of it, I would say go for it, if you are trying a Sweet Martini for the first time, GOOD LUCK!
