I used to drink gin ones only but now I do enjoy a vodka "cocktail" (or whatever you want to call it) once a while too. Less of a hangover the next morning.
The place that serves the best martinis in town, according to a poll in the local paper, has only a couple with gin, and most don't contain Vermouth either (heresy!).
