What happens if you add more ingredients to your drink?

Why does a drink sometimes be called a "martini" by some people?

How To
How to make a martini that is good
A martini is made with gin, vermouth, and ice. Mix all ingredients together before serving. It is best served chilled in a glass. A good martini should always be served straight up. It will taste bad if it is mixed.
A martini can be served with two olives. If you wish to add more flavor to your drink, you can put olive brine around the rim.
While you can use any alcohol, it's better to use 100% of the grain alcohol like Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. Many types of vermouths are available, but we recommend choosing one that contains no added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. Add 1 ounce vodka. Add 1 ounce vodka to the mixture and shake vigorously. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it with an olive.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
