Does it make any actual difference?
t. non-drinker
It actually is in the books. Basically he's a very early edgelord/hipster who likes to do contrarian stuff.
Someone did experiment to prove that shaking released less of a harmful chemical compared to stirring. The math revealed the difference to be in such small numbers (eg. 0,000015 % vs 0,00003%) making everyone believe our dear James was a man on the autistic spectrum (Spectre ay?)
Great thanks a lot fags. Now some retards think they are special for knowing this. Can't wait for the inevitable lore plug when zoomers take over the franchise.
A shaken martini will crush the ice inside the mixer, which affects the texture of the drink. Marinis are supposed to be smooth, without any texture.
when you shake a martini the ice chills the alcohol. Otherwise no, there's no real difference.
Stirring prevents the ice from breaking and melts slower. Shaken makes it weaker because the ice breaks and melts faster. Bond is keeping his mind and body sharp and focused while fitting in with the rest of guests who are drinking.
this
Shaken dissolves the ice faster, watering down his drink so he appears to be drinking heavily but in reality is not.
I thought it didn't bruise the alcohol or something.
Wtf I hate bong now, what a faggor
That's twice as much. Half as much respectively. That's actually a big difference.
So when you stir ice doesn’t chill the alcohol? Do you realize how retarded you sound rn?
More importantly is it ever explained why this asshole, which we are supposed to regard as the embodiment of manliness, constantly shows off his autistic addiction to this faggy cocktail ?
Is this one of these weird power moves, like he's asserting his dominance and is daring the barman to smirk ?
>faggy cocktail
Fuck off zoomer. It’s a classic cocktail
The Yea Forums version of Bond actually preferred to drink whatever the locals drank. Red Stripe in Jamaica, raki in Turkey, bourbon in America..etc.
James is ordering a weak martini and being snooty about it
to assert dominance
I love it when stuff like James Bond has actual spy techniques in it.
Chill 006

It is to show that he is a man of class, someone who has tried martinis shaken and stirred and prefers the former. There are slight differences in terms of cooling, texture, amount of water etc. but it is essentially a matter of taste and preference. That Bond even bothers to make this distinction is a symbol of his refined palate.
it's still the same amount of alcohol you brainlets, it's weaker on the taste but he'd be just as drunk
the only way to drink
what does martini taste like?
The effect would be marginal but it's still a little weaker due to the water ingested.
Bitter and menthol-like like all spirits.
Vomit and piss and vermouth
its basically ice cold straight gin. I think bond orders vodka martinis which is silly , I'm not sure if that's from the books.
vodka martinis are better, gin tastes like an industrial solvent
finally a non-retard. exactly this. a shaken martini will have basically small flakes of ice in it.
Buy better gin.
Nobody ever stirs a martini when making one. It’s like asking for a cheeseburger with cheese on it
I ordered a martini once but I felt like a giant faggot drinking it out of that dumb glass.
In the Books Fleming has Bond mentioning drugged drinks can be seen this way
you need to go back
But alcohol is a drug
It's mainly to keep it from warming up in your hand, but also to stay true to "muh aesthetics" and "muh tradition". You could ask for your martini in a rocks glass if it makes you feel better.
Like the worst, lowest quality flavored vodka you've ever had.
>gin
Disgusting.
He probably can't handle a stirred one, shaken is far more diluted, he's a pussy
Craig's an alcoholic.
He should've asked for a Negroni like an actual man, also remember to go out and buy negronis this week, since it's the Negroni Week, tour through your local bars and taste their twist on the classic cocktail. All for charity
jerkened, not stinky
I had heard that the only time he order a shaken not stirred martini in the books was in order to make the villain think he was a rube and underestimate him.
in German he always says geschüttelt nicht gerührt which means shaken not stirred.
Dunno if it's a translation error
Vodka martinis taste like garbage, I don't get the appeal as a bourbon man.
But I'm not a huge fucking faggot.
You are if you don't drink Negronis, the drink of actual big dick hairy men
What is the most kino drinking scene in film?
My vote goes to Belloq beating Marion at her own drinking game in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Thank you Mr. President
>The change in flavour comes about not because the spirit is bruised but rather from the aeration of the drink, leading to additional oxidation of the ingredients. The drink may also be more dilute because of the ice chipping and melting while being shaken; the aeration and ice particles result in a cloudy appearance.
>as a bourbon man
>going to a bar to specifically drink an aperitif
What do I look like, a woman?
>implying women drink Negroni
Drink 6 or 7 like I do fag
Well no man would ever drink one as proper drink that's for sure.
Selfies are for /soc/ user.

wtf
here he says with a shaker, not a spoon
she's pretending retard
>drinking vodka
sounds nasty
why is it supposed to be classy
oh no no Seth exposed as the hack he is go write another musical sketch
It's watered down though, so he'll consume it slower, and keep his blood alcohol content at a slightly lower percent.
he always drink it up entirely so it makes no difference except on a molecular level
Fleming was a fuckwitted queer with a thing for fashionable men. He probably read in a magazine somewhere that it was hip to have your martinis served shaken.
A Quantum of Sol-ICE if you will
Y'ALL MOTHERFUCKERS HELLA YOUNG!
Bond was written in the 60s. Back then vodka wasn't the triple distilled grain vodka you get now. It got one pass and was usually made from potatoes. This left a lot of the oils from the potato still in it. Shaking the hell out of it mixed the oils into the drink better and meant a smoother, less greasy Martini.
Like, literally a stirred martini in the 60s would have a film like an oils slick on it.
thanks grandpa, gonna watch The Battle of Britain tonight?
Not great, but not terrible
Unironically not a bad idea
Bartender, here.
Vodka Martinis are shaken. Whenever anyone orders one, you always assume they want it shaken unless they specify stirred. Gin Martinis are always stirred. Some people think its because you'll bruise the gin ( not to sure about this) but I think its due to tradition. Also, vodka martinis are super tasty extremely chilled which you can only get by shaking.
Got any good unusual cocktails you like to make?
I had one a restaurant a few weeks ago that was mezcal and creme de cassis and maybe lemon juice? It was delicious.
Aeration. Shaking any drink will add air to it, and it subtly changes the flavour.
>drinking clear spirits

>bond
German is really a language of barbarians.
criminally underrated
this meme is so tiresome
i once went with my dad to a casino on one of those tours mainly for senior citizens wanting to go to a casino but cant drive themselves and when we got there i went to a craps table and played a 20 and lost and the waitress asked if we needed drinks so my dad ordered a corona and i being the dapper guy ordered a martini shaken not stirred with 7 up added to it. my dad nearly had a fit while the milf waitress just kinda chuckled and went to get our drinks

it's VODKA NOT GIN YOU FUCKING RETARD
I exclusively drink sweet sherries and ports. Come at me kid
Literally nobody cares gayboi
He takes his martinis like he treats his babies
Samefag.
samefag have sex sweaty. yikes
(you)
>Faggy cocktail
It's basically drinking gin straight. Quite the opposite of faggy my dear boy.

What the fuck even is this graph, it makes no fucking sense. Is it trying to say that, for example, Craig bangs and average of 15 girls each movie? Because that's what it fucking looks like. When really it's like one or two. If it's supposed to be by volume of the colors then they should have the least amount on the bottom, etc.
Isn't sherry mostly used for cooking
yikes
>using a fortified expensive wine in cooking
Hmm...
