Уважаемый Колумбус,

Я действительно предпочитаю single malt Scotch, тем не менее, вы меня не убедите, что vodka martini - редкое явление, уж тут я тверд. :)
В 90% случаев люди, с которыми я посещал питейные заведения в разных странах мира заказывали именно vodka martini.

Иногда Wikipedia доверять нельзя, но в данном случае ее устами глаголет истина:

Another common but controversial variation is the vodka martini, made with vodka instead of gin. In the 1990s, the vodka martini supplanted the traditional gin-based martini in popularity. Today, when bar and restaurant customers order a "martini", they frequently have in mind a drink made with vodka.   Martini purists decry this development: while few object to the drink itself, they strenuously object to it being called a martini.
