Shaken, Not Stirred

LaZorra: Okay, so as I was saying, we're watching James Bond and one of the girls on it just ordered a martini "shaken, not stirred."
Maryam: THIS CHAT ROOM IS SHAKEN NOT STIRRED
LaZorra: And my mother felt she had to inform me that this was James Bond's signature drink.
ThePhan: LOL
Goosey: LOL
LaZorra: HELLO I AM 24 YEARS OLD I THINK I KNOW WHAT JAMES BOND DRINKS.
ThePhan: "James Bond is a secret agent, you see."
Goosey: LOL LOL
ThePhan: "His number is 007."
Maryam: LOL
iwpg: LOL
Maryam: Even I know that, and I haven't watched any Bond movies.
LaZorra: TP: I felt like she was next going to tell me that he introduces himself as "Bond, James Bond." :-p
TalkingDog: Liface is James Bond.
LaZorra: D: LIFEACE HAS A LICENSE TO KILL????
TalkingDog: One time he said "Did you kno that I am ool?" "ool" in 733t is 007.
ThePhan: LOL
Goosey: LOL LOL
TalkingDog: So he was telling everyone he's a spy. He's not very good at it.

  1. Very interesting read! Although i have to say i am more of stirred martini man myself. Top mixologists will go with stirred. The flavour is more balanced and less bitter than the shaken.

    Does shaking get it colder? Yes, a bit. You need to work a little more at stirring longer, with the right sized and amount of ice. Or even stirring it ina tin rather than glass. Ideally, you want it cold and diluted, but not too much of either that the flavours will be masked.
