* ''Manga/SpyXFamily'' -- Dirty Martini with an Absinthe-infused cherry(maybe two). At a glance, we have a [[TheAce super-spy]] tasked to infiltrate the high society where his target resides. Look deeper, and we see an ''exhausted'' man being worked like a dog, so traumatized by his past experience of war that he'd do anything to prevent it, in the service of an agency staffed with people broken in their own ways from the spy business.[[labelnote:such as]]Handler mentions how she ''had'' a child once, Frankie can't get any romantic relationships due to his work, and Fiona's unable to express her emotions. [[/labelnote]] But there are also many genuinely sweet moments with Loid's cover family; that is to say his wife[[note]]who is really an assassin working for the other side[[/note]], adopted daughter[[note]]a telepath who escaped from a government project, knows ''both'' her parents' real identities(and thinks that's really cool!), and works desperately behind the scenes to both hold her family together(occasionally getting caught up in Papa's line of work) and not get found out[[/note]], and dog[[note]]also an escaped lab experiment, and a clairvoyant[[/note]].

* ''Film/JamesBond'' -- [[TropeCodifier Vodka Martini, shaken not stirred]]. In the Creator/DanielCraig films, it isn't shaken quite as much, and some elements of Stale Beer has found its way in to make Dirty Martini, but there is still no doubt it is overall Martini.
