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

Shaking cools and mixes the drink faster, but also chips the ice and creates bubbles, which changes the texture and makes it cloudier.

Stirring takes longer, but is also gentler and results in a clearer result.
