Basically any flavor martini is possible to create, just combine two parts of vodka (consider using flavored vodka) with one part of any flavored liqueur (or several different flavored liqueurs). Splashes of juice, milk, or cream can also be added to martinis to enhance flavor or balance the alcohol.
