<p>I'm a total novice, so excuses for what is likely a ridiculously stupid question.  I know that a MARTINI is a drink (like a gin martini, vodka martini) but there is also a bottled drink called "<a href="https://www3.martini.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MARTINI</a>", in many varieties (extra dry - torino, bianco, rosso, and so on). What's the relation between MARTINI-the-drink and MARTINI-the-brand? </p>

<p>I use MARTINI-the-brand to make Negronis, to mix with tonic, and so on, and these drinks are obviously not martinis, even though they're made with a drink which has the word MARTINI on the label. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

I know that a MARTINI is a drink (like a gin martini, vodka martini) but there is also a bottled drink called "[MARTINI](https://www3.martini.com)", in many varieties (extra dry - torino, bianco, rosso, and so on). What's the relation between MARTINI-the-drink and MARTINI-the-brand?

I use MARTINI-the-brand to make Negronis, to mix with tonic, and so on, and these drinks are obviously not martinis, even though they're made with a drink which has the word MARTINI on the label.
