I might try one of those, on somebody else's dime. But what I don't understand is how that is "a variation of the Martini." Yes, it contains vermouth. Yes, you shake the mixture together with ice. Lots of things are made with vermouth, though,[1] and *tons* of stuff is shaken with ice.
So what's the derivation.
[1] See, for example,I really like cocktails when coming into parties, bars and clubs. I usually don't drink beer but all. I like something that has some sweetness in it. The thing that you won't noticed that you're already drunk.
I'm a beer guy but I like to drink cocktails once in a while. Raspberry Margarita is good. A good substitute for a classic Margarita.
