martinis

[Ken Gargett]

suspect we have been down this road before but the new 007 film had me looking into it.

gin or vodka (in other words, a proper one or a vodka one, but i don't want to pre-empt anything)?

shaken or stirred (in other words, do you stir yours or screw it up but again... )?

guess that reveals my preferences but i did find some interesting reasons for both sides which i'll post down the track.

Don't know too much, but what I've heard is don't shake them, otherwise the ice releases too much water which makes for a bad drink.

I'm not much of a martini drinker, nor gin or vodka in any form, really - though

I did go through a gimlet phase years ago.

Now margaritas on the other hand........

In his defense - I believe that was simply a gin induced yawn :-P
