Actually, James Bond made his martini in a similar fashion to mine -- it had both gin and vodka, and much more gin. Ian Fleming had Bond tell a bartender how to make it in the first book:
3 oz. Gordon's gin 1 oz. vodka ½ oz. Kina Lillet
Shake it up with ice, strain, garnish with a lemon peel. Lillet is a similar "wine with herbs" deal to vermouth. (I think it's a bit sweeter than dry vermouth, and slightly golden in color rather than clear.)
(And for the record, while he did ask for it shaken, he didn't say, "shaken, not stirred.")
