You know the classic James Bond line “Martini, shaken, not stirred” is there an actual difference in the taste of the drink from shaking it vs stirring it?

Answer 1

You might get ice chips with shaken but than you can double strain to get them out. That’s when you use the regular strainer and mesh strainer.

Both water down your drink a little. Try an old fashioned room temp, shaken, and stirred.

Also I think shaking gets the drinks colder. When you shake you shake until there is frost on the shaker. With stirring it hardly gets any frost and mostly gets condensation.
