why not?
plenty of people use mixers to disguise the vodka taste so that they can get drunk easily, at least a vodka martini is basically a glass of vodka with a vermouth soaked olive. More dressing up straight vodka than anything else.
Re: how do you take your martini?
All ingredients and tools stored in freezer at roughly 10 degrees fahrenheit.
Shaker, no ice, for mixing.
Bombay Saphire.
French Vermouth, one atomizer misting per 2 shots gin.
Serve in classic martini glass, 3 olives (no brine).
I prefer a cocktail sword, but find toothpicks adequate for the olives.

P.S. Friend and I mixed a big batch and had a video festival. All 3 of the original "Thin Man" flicks back to back. Whenever they quaffed on screen, so did we. Finished the flicks, slept well - but a good deal longer than usual.

Re: how do you take your martini?
yep, Bombay Saphire is good stuff (although I've been drinking Hendrick's lately).
Your big batch: did you have the classic martini jug? because it would be awesome if you did.
Edit: I also agree with the martini glass because it would basically be a glass of gin with some floaty bits if you used a hi ball or the like.

Re: how do you take your martini?
you're typical dry martini is dry gin and dry vermouth, about 3 parts to 1
thats if i remember correctly and thats the way i take it, shaken.

Re: how do you take your martini?
Gin, for sure. Vodka is for people who don't want any distractions, such as flavour, on their way to getting smashed. No olive. More vermouth than Seamus, a lot less than Dessa. Room temprature gin, and ice in the shaker (not the glass, obviously), so I'd wind up with a drink a tiny bit less strong than Seamus.
Bombay Sapphire is my favourite London gin, I alternate with Plymouth depending on how I am feeling but to be honest after one or two of either I couldn't begin to tell the difference. Be fun trying though...
