I don't like Vermouth in my martinis--just gin.

Hi Maureen! If you don't like vermouth, skipping it should be fine—let me know if you try it. I haven't tried feta in the quinoa fritters (or goat cheese in the bulgur fritters), but I imagine they would swap well.

Some would argue that a martini without vermouth isn't a martini. Those people might argue that vermouth without gin (or vodka) equally isn't a martini.

Nomenclature aside, just make it the way you like it. It's your bar, your taste buds.

If you like vermouth-less "martinis" made with other condiments, it is likely you won't miss the vermouth in this one. And if you want to call it a martini, that's fine. Pleasing you and your guests is the most important thing anyhow.
