Dry, dirty, shaken — when it comes to tasty martinis, ordering can be a little more complicated than it should be. Before you hit the bars to celebrate National Martini Day (it's today!), get the full scoop on everything you need to become a martini maven.

Here, we're giving you the liquor lowdown on all the different drink versions so that the next time you approach the bartender, you'll sound as seasoned as James Bond or good ol' Karen Walker from Will & Grace.

• Gin or vodka: When you order a martini, you'll usually get a cocktail made with gin and a hint of vermouth — fortified wine flavored with a variety of herbs — in a five-to-one ratio. Expect an olive or a twist of lemon peel as garnish. Many martinis use vodka instead, but make sure to specify with the bartender if that's your preference.
• Dry, wet, or perfect: Ordering it "dry" is asking for a martini with less vermouth than usual. A "wet" martini — you guessed it — comes with more vermouth than the standard ratio. And "perfect"? Well, that just means the drink uses equal amounts of gin and vermouth.
• Shaken or stirred: "Shaken, not stirred" might sound familiar thanks to Mr. Bond. A shaken martini, mixed in a cocktail shaker with ice, usually produces an icier, cloudier, and slightly more diluted drink. A stirred martini chills the cocktail without diluting it quite as much from the ice.
• Dirty: Olive lovers are sure to appreciate a "dirty" martini. This version adds olive juice for an extra briny taste.
• Gibson: A gibson is still a martini; the only difference is that is comes garnished with a pearl onion instead of an olive or peel.
• Vesper: For something a bit different, try a vesper: a martini composed of gin, vodka, Lillet Blanc, and a lemon twist.

Of course, martinis come in flavored versions, like cranberry, too. Now that you have the entire 411, get ready, get set, and sip away!

There's no doubt about it — everyone wants to stand out at a job interview. And one of the easiest ways to do that (besides being awesome, of course) is by how you look, because we all know the power of a first impression. So the next time you reach for that stuffy black suit because it's what you're supposed to wear, consider additions that will make all the difference in letting your fun personalty shine though.

We hope these subtle touches, no matter what the job, will make you ready to rock the interview and land the gig in no time.

• Dorothy Perkins Geo-Print Jacket ($44, originally $79): Blazers don't have to equal boring! Go for a print that's unique yet not too bold for an interview.
• Campo Marzio Document Holder ($25): Carrying documents can be chic when you tote them around in a colorful case that pops.
• Kate Spade Stud Earrings ($38): Consider stud earrings your interview jewelry go-to, especially ones in a beautiful hue.
• Jeffrey Campbell Cap Toe Pumps ($148, originally $185): Heels with a subtle touch of flair, like a rose-gold cap, bring sophistication to a new level.
• Vincent Longo Lipstick ($23): Sure, you shouldn't put on a full face of makeup for a job interview, but you can never go wrong with a light touch of color on the lips.
• Paper Source Painted Garden File Folders ($11): Rule number one: always bring your résumé to the interview. Rule number two: always carry it in a pretty (nonmanila) folder.

"Umm, I guess I'll try to help you with that." Even if you've never said that entire sentence, you may still be guilty of saying at least one or two of those words at work. The thing is, we get so comfortable at the office, it's hard to notice words that slip out that are better left unsaid.
