What is it called?
Fill glass 3/4 full of Bombay Sapphire and add two almond stuffed olives.
About 6 to 1 ratio, gin to vermouth.
i like a little olive juice in mine as well

Dirty Martini!
Fill glass with ice & water to chill. Wave vermouth bottle in front of glass in threatening manner. Dump ice & water that picked up vermouth aroma. Fill martini glass with a chilled quality vodka and garnish with 3 olives. Add olive juice to taste.
Almond stuffed olives are for phags.

The way I understand it... if you don't use gin, it isn't a martini. 🤔
Me? Ice cold mug... fill it with a good, quality beer. Done. If I must drink booze... scotch. Chilled Macallan 12 or Balvenie doublewood with a couple drops of cold bottled water.
I don't like the smell of gin. The taste is barf-worthy.

Correct. A "vodka martini" is a kangaroo. But try ordering that at a bar and then you end up explaining it to the bartender. It's easier to describe it as such. But all that other BS is a girl drink in a martini glass.
I coat the glass with dry vermouth, the use either Burnetts gin or Hendricks gin. 2 olives, if Burnetts garlic olives, if Hendricks almond olives. Even though Burnets is inexpensive I like it.

when I am drinking Hendricks, I prefer a slice of cucumber to olives...there is a cucumber essence to that brand of gin.
sometimes I will drink Haymans Old Tom gin chilled straight up. Sweet enough to drink that way, don't know about other Old Tom style gins.
And I will drink vodka martinis too.
Do I have a problem?
I like Juniepero gin (thanks fuzzyNJ) and Bombay Sapphire East as well when I am in the mood for the peppercorn kick.

I actually tried that Juniepero because of fuzzNJ several years ago...maybe it was out of San Francisco? Very junipery IIRC.
If you like a whiff of black licorice, try Death's Door Gin, out of Washington Island Wisconsin.
They use 3 botanicals, juniper, coriander, and fennel seeds.
