There are three drinks you can call a martini:

  • A martini is gin and vermouth, maybe with some bitters if you like
  • A vodka martini is vodka and vermouth, bitters again optional
  • A vesper martini is gin, vodka, and lillet blanc
  • Any of the above can be made "dirty" with olive brine if you want

Anything else is a cocktail in a martini glass. No shade if you like apple schnapps, lemon juice, and vodka, drink what you like, but it's not a martini.
