Yup. These days, restaurants and bars use "martini" in the name of any
drink served in a martini glass. It's not correct, but not worth
getting your panties bunched up, either.

I recently had a "crushed kumquat martini" at The Tamarind Tree, a fine
Vietnamese restaurant here in Seattle. Exquisitely tasty, even if it's
not the traditional formula. So far, the best real martini that I've
found in Seattle was served at the Sand Point Grill.
