Up references the glass
Fun fact Winston Churchill drank from sun up to sun down. But the dude was fairly healthy and not slobbering all over the place. Turns out his drink was any kind of scotch or whiskey splashed into a highball glass filled with ice and club soda. So basically about a 1/2 inch of spirit and the rest ice and club soda. And this was his routine every day for years. So I just figure James Bond even if fictional took his drinks shaken cuz after all he was on missions and any one ever on a mission knows your wit's must be intact if you are to survive a sudden battle & doing all that JB never die stuff. This is not 💯 but it's my theory as to the shaken not stirred. Besides cloudy as they may be they still clear up…and don't forget if the JB wanted to cut loose his go to was a Vesper. And a good Vesper is no joke! 🍸🍸🍸😋👍🍸🍸🍸
Fun fact. While "Shaken, not stirred," has become a clique of sophistication, it was actually meant to show the character's lack of sophistication. James Bond was an orphan, and a brute.
Great video. I need to try that Martini on the rocks. Regarding James Bond; the theory I have heard is that he liked them shaken, not stirred as it diluted the drink. This way he appeared to be drinking a big amount but he was more likely to not get drunk.
You lost me at "neat".
Neat spirit is not a martini. Its not even a cocktail.
Ok, for a traditional martini using gin, your information is correct, however, the original vodka martini came with a cocktail onion rather than an olive, which became the trendy thing to do as more people liked the taste of olives over onions.
JBond Martini is sterd nt shaken
Great video as usual, good to rediscover this Italian monument!
3:32 Vodka. Really?? No flavor. Only exists to make other drink’s alcoholic. All the botanicals in Gin is what makes the flavor of the Martini correct
If you are using just vodka (no vermouth) you want to shake very hard, making sure the vodka and ice hits the top of the mixing cup. Vodka with nothing else is too harsh when it cools. The ice chips will float to the top of the martini and create an ice film that will insulate the vodka, and you get your lip cooled by the ice on the tongue.
Vodka Martini straight up filthy🍸🍸🍸
Well, and if you shake it, you don’t put ice in it. You just use a cold vodka and chilled glass and you make it filthy two shots of vodka, two shots of olive juice, vermouth swizzle in the glass poured out add the martini
A year late with comment number 429 that no one will ever see but I enjoy typing so here we go… I love this video. Solid, accessible cocktail advice start to finish with well-reasoned explanations every step of the way. The key being, I don't need to share your tastes and preferences to get full value out of watching. Taste wise, I like gin and (jokingly, all in good fun) consider vodka as being the chicken breast of spirits… but I could be new to cocktails, watch this video, and come away ready to make a nice gin martini.
A Goomba who doesn’t like olives 🤨whatsA matta you?
Tito’s is TERRIBLE! It’s not even real vodka. P.S. It’s not “hand crafted”. Try some real vodka instead.
Vodka martini is a nice drink for the ladies.
Wet vodka martini up with a twist thanks.
Thanks for the tip on the olive brine. I shake my martinis and serve them up because I prefer them super cold with a few ice shards. More cocktail videos please. I love your channel!
Martinis are made with gin. That’s why you have to specify vodka martini.
Great video…Im a non drinker but need to know how to make different drinks for my female guests …you explain it perfectly….make more vids on different drinks
