I heard a local radio station advertising "a special martini night" at one of the local student bars. How special? "Tequila Sunrise-Banana Cream Martinis" were on special.
I don't know what that is, but it isn't a martini. Whoever invented it should be shot, and the bar should be burned down.
For added irony, the bar is "The Vintage Room," which purports to have a wine list, and at one point tried to be an adult bar (where actual adults, as opposed to drunk sorostitues, hung out.)

Serving a drink in a cocktail glass (which is what that bit of barware is properly called, damn it, and it should be no bigger or smaller than 5 oz, ever) does not make it a "Martini". Ug.
Next time you come to Boston, I'll take you to the Eastern Standard -- the best cocktail-geek bar I've ever been in, hands down. Food's decent, too.
