My mom said growing up in the WW2 years and watching movies of the high society they were often looking elegant and sophisticated with a martini in hand. So she figured that must be a great drink. At the first officers party they were invited to, dad was a Lt. with fresh pilot wings. Dad was in his dress uniform, and mon had some new dress with the gloves and hat in the early 1950s era.
Someone asked he if she wanted a drink, so of course a Martini was what she ordered. She had never had one, and very little alcohol ever in her life. She took one sip and used up all her composure to not do a massive spit take right in front of everyone. She managed to keep composure and smiled and handed the Martini to dad, and he enjoyed it. She was never a drinker. Once glass of wine and she was massively drunk and hated it.
