it actually sounds good, but can midori, champagne and orange juice really call itself a martini? doesn’t anybody still drink regular martinis?

Marc — I totally agree with you. More and more the term “martini” is becoming a catch-all for anything that’s a mixed drink. It’s really rather unfortunate that it’s moving in that direction as I and others I know find it misleading. The one drink that raised my eyebrow when scanning this list was the one from Pacific Moon. I’ve never heard of Asian Pear Sake … anyone know where I could find some?
