> Does anyone use the different flavored vodkas with their Cosmos?
--------------------

Definately, although of course the more pronounced the flavor, the more 
different the drink ends up. Absolute Citron (as you mention later) I think is 
one of the better flavored vodkas to use here.


> ...Stoli Raspberry. tastes too much like candy for me...
--------------------

Cocktails should not "remind us of our childhood", although for some reason 
that is what most amature drinkers tend to gravitate toward. Familiar 
territory I guess.


> ...does it also seem weird when someone orders a "Comopolitan Martini"?
------------------------

Of course my answer here is "Yes". This is the result of people getting 
totally confused as to what a "Martini" is. I expect if you ask them what they 
mean by this "Martini" qualifier they will either not know, or simply claim 
that this is how it is called in some other bar they frequent. It would only 
be a very few who "might" suggest that what they mean by this is for it to be 
served in a "Martini Glass" [sic.] instead of on the rocks or something.
