Making an Award-Winning Martini (Shaken is a lie!)

Bond disnt lie, he just likes martini shaken

We say "a teardrop" of vermouth

When people says "Everything is Big is Texas" they weren't lying when the state reveal how much huge amounts of Morons and Losers live out in Texas who think they are bigger and better than everyone else

2 OLIVES ?????

If you are secret agent you want more watery drink so you dont get wasted so fast

Dukes style is the best - just ice cold gin

what kind of bourgeoisie fuckwit decided pouring out an ounce of vermouth was necessary? esquire magazine and all of these hipster fucks on screen can keep this shit.

Sooo in other words.. James Bond was actually a PU$$y! My thing is the different Gins.. I prefer 'Beefeaters 24' and Dirty...am I making it wrong?

These guys are assholes

What the hell do you know!

There are only a few types of martinis. Gin is the real martini, if you don't like the taste of gin, then a martini is probably not for you. A vodka martini is still a martini, but not traditional. Either way, gin or vodka, and vermouth. Too much more than that and it ceases to be a martini and becomes something else. A cocktail is defined by the ingredients, not the glass it is served it. As for gin or vodka and no vermouth? Not a martini, just a shot of booze in a martini glass. That's like pouring tequila into a glass, adding nothing else, and then calling it a margarita.

I like more vermouth than others i guess... I know it's cool to drink it's close to straight gin for some people but I'm not one of em. 1 to 2 ratio for me

A tip for you: don't use carbonated water to shill the glass.... The cocktail is fucked from the start.... Just saying. Smart ass.

I've heard when your barkeeper doesn't give you an odd number of olives, he doesn't like you. Enjoy your two olives.

No, no, no. Shaken is the way to go. With vodka. Extra dirty.

I'd enjoy trying that martini! I prefer a vodka martini made without using ice from a bottle kept in the freezer.

Was very sceptical at first, come on every bartender ( maybe four or five, six at the most ) that i've ordered it from shook the hell out of the ingridients. The last and only one time i did it myself the the result was mediocre at best. Now having used noilly prat and tanqueray and cheapo olives i am a convert. the result was really perfectly balanced!!

Imagine dumping alcohol on the ground

Everyone is so aggressive when they speak

Why not just put the gin in a fridge and drink it cold. Same thing.

Get the fuck out you and your martini!!

D-bags

Must have THREE good sized quality olives. Not 2 puny ones.

Where is the recipe

I like 1/4 vermouth in my martini

Meh

These dudes are a bunch of toolbags!

Disagree

Two olives is bad luck. It's got to be an odd number usually one or three. Check it out.

I order my martini shaken and they come to my table with a small shaker and ice cold martini glass. Smooth!

It’s one or three olives, IF you are “stupidticious”. Never just 2!

Shaken martini is not a lie, it’s a choice like any other method. There is no better or worse way. Drink what you like, the way you like it, nothing else matters.

This whole "barely any vermouth" thing is an abomination. With the amount that's used, you might as well just order straight up gin.

im gonna make a video on doing this

people seriously need to stop saying shaken martinis are a "lie" you like your drink the way you like it. I wish they knew how snobby and cringy they sound.

I make gin and tonics with a double shot of Seagram's Twisted Lime exxtra dry gin with lime liquor that's been kept in a freezer at about 28°f, a 16oz glass with crushed and cubed ice, toped of with chilled tonic water with quinine, stirred 10-20 times, the rim rubbed and garnished with a lime and served. Secret fact the drink glows in blacklight because of the tonic water with quinine!

Why don't they just keep the gin bottle in a freezer? That's what I do!🍸

Was a cool place. Sadly, replaced by a beer garden. Not that there is anything wrong with that....Just will miss Steampunk...

This is how I make my martini. I even actually soak the olives in the vermouth . I've never had a complaint. And I don't shake it either. A girl I work with showed me this once and it has since then stuck with me.

Thing is... Bond is served or orders Vodka Martinis most the times. In rare occations he drinks the Vesper or a Dirty variant.

So basically at the end we have a martini glass of gin and nothing else..

Can we do it in vodka martini???

Errr... 3 parts cocaine, 1 part cocktail??

Sorry dood, but a "more flavorful" Martini comes from aerating the drink by shaking it. The aromatics of the vermouth are accentuated, and it doesn't dilute the drink any more than stirring, and the idea that it is noticeably colder to stir a drink is B.S., it just takes like 20 seconds longer PER DRINK, which means a lot when a bartender has a lot of drinks to make.

All three of these dude waaaaay too flamboyant.....

yikes... bombay! plymouth only

Dry or sweet vermouth

So basically straight gin

Shaken or stirred will not change the difference in the taste. Just enjoy the gin.
