	martini marrow squash marrowbone marshmallow martini MSG May apple May wine Definition: [mahr-TEE-nee] Said to have been named after the company of Martini & Rossi (famous for their vermouth), this cocktail is made with gin and vermouth, garnished with either a green olive or a lemon twist. The less vermouth it contains, the "drier" (see dry) it is. A martini may be served straight up or on the rocks. It may also be made with vodka, in which case it's called a vodka martini. A Gibson is a martini garnished with a tiny white onion. --Copyright (c) 1995 by Barron's Educational Series, from The New Food Lover's Companion, Second Edition, by Sharon Tyler Herbst
