When I do have one, I like mine straight up and slightly dirty (a bar here calls them the dirty CEO). I've actually been having a conversation lately with many of my friends about vodka and the martini, my argument is that the point of incredibly well made vodka is to not taste like alcohol at all, where as the point of well made scotch (my usual drink of choice) is to taste like nothing you've ever tasted before.
