The two men in the group had dry Bombay Sapphire martinis with a couple of olives.

The other guys had various types of cosmos masquerading as "martinis."

Agreed. A Martini is either vodka or gin, vermouth, olive juice (dirty) and olives. If it's an onion, it's a gimlet. OTW, it's just another drink served neat in a martini glass. No such thing as an appletini or cosmo martini or chocolate martini, etc. I'm all in favor of girly drinks occasionally, but don't call it a martini.

Some people don't think a vodka martini is a martini. You got the gimlet and the gibson mixed up. A gimlet is another sweet drink, the gibson has the onion.
