gin martini

Shaken or stirred

A gin martini is a cocktail made with gin and dry vermouth, typically garnished with an olive or lemon twist.

The qualifier distinguishes it from vodka martinis, which have largely overtaken the original in popularity.

Ordering a martini without specification may get you either, depending on the bartender: I'll have a gin martini, extra dry.
