    A 50:50 mix of a Martini and a Bradford?

    There wouldn't really be many drinks where you'd mix them, LIIT is about the only oen I can think of

    Gin is basically flavoured vodka, so it is sort of odd to make cocktails with them. I find most people do not like gin and so cannot stomach most cocktails with it in it.

    Have to disagree with that one. Most common gins in the "London dry" style have botanicals included in the distillation process -- they're not just botanical-infused grain spirit.

    In my mind it is still just basically a flavoured vodka, doesn't matter to me how or when that flavour is added.
