one of my favourites comprises of vodka, lychee liquer and grapefruit juice.
its good cuz the tartness of the grapefruit balances out the sweetness of the lychee liquer.
yummers.

Gin Martini:
Pour 1/2 ounce of vermouth into glass, swirl around so that vermouth lines glass, pour out excess.
Pour 2 1/2 ounces of gin (tanqueray, bombay saphire, plymouths) into your ice filled jig. Shake vigorously.
Pour gin into glass with strainer on. Garnish with olive or lemon twist (optional.)
Martini's are the dressy way to drink straight booze. The old saying goes: one martini is plenty, two is too much, three is not enough.
I can look into my old martini book and post up other recepies tomorrow.

I like a dirty martini (gin w/ 2 TB olive brine) and three olives.
If I'm entertaining a creamsicle martini is good - a mix of mandarin vodka, cointreau, and the African liquer whose name I can't remember (starts with an A) and orange juice. Possible side effects include the removal of panties.

my fav is a chocolate martini - yum - its good when you put a hershey kiss at the bottom of the glass or a stick of kit kat or something - yummm I would like one now 
The word "Martini" is used very liberally these days .... so basically you can just mix vodka with a limitless combination of fruit juices and flavoured liquers. Then you need a clever-sounding name, of course.
Vermouth is a fortified wine like port or sherry, with the addition of certain herbs & spices to give its distinct flavour. The slight bitter tone makes vermouth a good aperitif.

I thought for sure there'd be a jizztini in here, but I clicked on it anyway.
I'm with HMHA on the dirty front.
Also, Liz's sounds nice - I'm partial to the soho lychee martini, but would only have a couple since they're much too sweet to down for an entire evening. Must try adding the grapefruit juice.
Can't drink chocolate martini's as I OD'd on them one year by drinking them every weekend solid for about two months. Can't stand the thought of them now. (why I drank them in the first place that often, I'll never know.)
Truly tho, number one is the dirty dirty gin kind, three large olives. I've been ordering those as a pre-cursor to each and every meal I've eaten out in the past long while. So effing good.
The name you're trying to think of Hog is Amarula Cream.

i make a martini at my work called 'sexual healing', cheesy name i know but really good..
1.5 oz. mandarin vodka
1 oz. pear liqueur
1.5 oz. fresh mango juice
shaken, and served with garnish of orange slice
....
i'm also really fond of crispy crunch martinis, a variation of the shot:
1.5 oz. vanilla vodka
1 oz. frangelico
1 oz. creme de cacao (chocolate liqueur)
shaken with chocolate candy garnish
these drinks make the time at work go by so much faster

I like trying new concoctions but I always go back to the traditional.
I'm a big fan of the dirty...three LARGE olives are manditory. I like mine not too dry and I'm partial to vodka.
They are the perfect pre-dinner cocktail.
I was on a Manhattan kick (whisky and sweet vermouth with a cherry) a couple of months ago but got sick of them quick. They're another good pre-dinner option.
As far as the less traditionals go, I really like Crispy Crunches or anything that's a little tart.
In my experience Wilde Oscar's has been the best for Martini's. Reasonable prices ($5.00 on Mondays) and they make it exactly as you want it. Most importantly, they do not skimp on the booze what so ever. I find trendy martini lounges to be way too overpriced for what they serve. I guess you're just paying for the ambience.

We had Hamtinis last week, there's gonna be a photo thread about it soon. The process has been perfected.
Hamtini
6oz vodka or gin
2oz ham slurry
1 tbsp dijon mustard
bite sized ham pieces
Directions:
- Add the booze to a shaker with ice
- Prepare the slurry ! Render as much juice as you can in the microwave, from the fattiest part of the rump. Take what's left, and put it through a garlic press until good and hammy. Add the juice and the pressed ham to the the shaker
- Add mustard and shake
-Rim a martini glass with a piece of ham and leave in the glass for garnish. Pour the hamtini over the garnish and serve immediately.
