This is an entry-level tip for social drinkers ordering a martini cocktail for the first time in a French bar: if you ask for a martini you will likely be served a glass of Martini Rosso, which is a sweet red vermouth, rather than the classic martini--gin and dry vermouth garnished with an olive--that you were expecting. Be specific about what you want so that the vermouth brand, Martini, is not confused with the mixed drink.
