I think a possible grid is:

STRAWBERRY WATERMELON   ORANGE  
   ICE       OLIVE      ALCOHOL 
PLATINUM     WORLD     DIAMOND  

The rows:

fruit: strawberry, watermelon, orange
Martini ingredients: ice, olive, alcohol
... record: platinum, world, diamond

The columns**:

... blond: strawberry, ice, platinum
ellipsoids: watermelon, olive, world
blood ...: orange, alcohol, diamond
