My favourite Martini quite: “Listen, suppose you’re a thousand miles from any outpost of civilization. Your bearers have all deserted and you’re alone, surrounded by trackless jungle. So you sit down and start making a dry martini for yourself while you collect your wits - and that’s where the vermouth comes in. You just add a good shot of vermouth and from all over the jungle people will spring out at you shouting, ‘That’s no way to make a dry martini.’ And you’re rescued.”
100% agree that the way a person wants to drink their drink, is the way they get to drink it! (although I've heard that the drink Bond drank the most was a Scotch and Soda, which is not something I'd personally go for!)
Bond's finest Martini moment is when he orders a Vesper in Casino Royale. It contains both gin and vodka as well as Kina Lillet (now Lillet Blanc). I prefer not just shaken, but vigorously shaken like your life depends on it.
No he as it shaken because in the 1950s/60s in the finest casinos and bars in the world, ordering a martini shaken not stired was considered rather outrageous and it got people's attention. Bond wasn't to be seen and his bar drinks were theatre while his hotel room drinks showed he knew how to make a authentic drink, usually whisky based.
@@Bulls3ye86 ever seen bond drink three or four? NO. Bond is not a sissy, he's bloody marine and he can handle his drink. He as it stired because its less dilute not more diluted.
It’s still got the same amount of booze in it silly haha. Your getting everything he put in the shaker poured out into the glass. It might taste weaker but it’s the same amount of alcohol
My theory as to why James orders his martinis shaken is a similar reason why Van Halen would order a bowl of M&Ms with no brown pieces. It's to test the service to see if they're paying attention.
You're quite right that it was with a twist, at least pretty often, and the doctor describes it as such, in Dr. No. There's at least one exception with olives, in Die Another Day, however, so that wouldn't be wrong either, if someone wanted their "James Bond Martini" with olives. Like you say, try to give the customer what they want.
Didn't one of the many Bonds say in one of the many Bonds movies that stirring , "bruises" the vodka or "bruises" the gin or bruises the vermouth or bruises something in a martini.
Brett Holdaway, your describing the Vesper Martini. It was Bond's (Flemings) own creation and was featured in Casino Royle and was named after the first Bond girl.
@@apexvwarrior8082 actually Bond originally drank Gin Martini's, however by the late 60s gin had fallen out of fashion and vodka was the drink of choice. These days both are in fashion and in recent films Bond as ordered both.
I bloody hate bartenders who stir with the other end of the spoon. As you said it correctly, when you stir with the 'spoony' end, the spoon is twisting, and there's a bloody well good reason for that. The little design going down, the tornado shaped spiral is there for a reason. It's meant to aerate the drink which is not going to happen if the spoon is not spinning, is it?
The reason for stirring a martini is to NOT put air into the drink, otherwise I would throw or shake. Plus if the twisty part does put air into the martini, which I am yet to find evidence of this, however it might. The difference in taste from using the spoon end of handle end will not be noticable by....anyone. So why make a job harder for yourself. At the end of the day, there is reasonings for everyones methods and I am always open to learning more to better my own knowledge, so please do let me know if you have any documentation about this that I can read up on. Thanks :)
Hey Tom first of all youre an absolute fucking legend second of all where can I get a shaker that opens with as much ease as yours mine is impossible to open once it gets cold
Hey Jmizzy, first of all thank you very much for the kind words. As for a super sweet awesome shaker.....it might be biased, but I always go to my tiki shaker - tomdyerbartender.com/shop/ols/products/toms-tiki-shaker It's simple, looks good, flexible and works great. I have several other types and this is still the one I like to use the most
If it's made with olives. The number of olives is to be noticed. If your server gives you an even number of olives it means they dislike you )-; If it is an odd number it means they like you(-:
The vermouth called Martini is named after the Martini and Rossi families. The cocktail was named after the Martinez, which seems to have originated in the city by that name in California. The Martinez gave birth not just to the Martini but also inspired the Manhattan, though the Manhattan uses rye or bourbon instead of gin.
It's not like James Bond was going to shoot the bartender for stirring in lieu of shaking, however, if his bartender started flipping cups and bottles around...
Martini and Rossi Vermouth? Seriously? Here is a little tidbit of information -- in a true Martini, the vermouth is actually more important than the Gin (and vodka is not a martini). Absolutely correct about not shaking. And if you are going to shake, double strain. But...Martini and Rossi is really better to use for...NOTHING. :)
Well! James Bond has gone down in my estimation.....what does he think this is, a Country Club for goodness sake?! Don't need to do the test - I'll have mine stirred please (with extra mixing glass and spoon juggling!)...even if it has to be vodka rather than gin.
Bond only drinks the top half of his "shaken not stirred" ingesting only the highly diluted portion of his coctail (mostly ice), ergo, he doesn't get drunk during parties (which, for him, usually means "on the job"). When he wants to get drunk he drinks scotch soda. I highly recommend books over movies.
Halloween Jack, Bond is an attention seeker and likes theatre. He orders his Martini that way in Casino Royle to get noticed. It was viewed as disrespectful to quality alcohol and people about him knew that.

😂😂😂😂😂. - EASY! Now it's my favourite martini quote too :)
Brilliant!
OMG, where's that quote from
Funny !
6:42 Bond ordered shaken exactly for that. So he drinks more ice/water vs alcohol as he is technically still at work 😅.
You’re great Tom. Stirred, not shaken.
In Argentina, few places can prepare this cocktail as it should be.
Always enjoy a very dry Martini in the USA

I've never had the balls to order one, for fear of coming across as a complete bell end.
Got to do it with all seriousness and absolute confidence
Do it !!! 🤣
i had one cuz i saw it on their drink menu and it was VERY strong but VERY good
@@farklestaxbaum4945 Not got round to trying it yet, but I imagine with all those spirits together it might have rocket fuel potency 🚀 🍸
Phil Smith, if in Britain, unless your in a top establishment don't bother.
Most bars and their staff are unable to produce good quality cocktails
.
THAT'S the reason why James Bond want it Shaken not stirred, so he won't get drunk easily
Especially since Bond likes 100 proof vodka.
No he as it shaken because in the 1950s/60s in the finest casinos and bars in the world, ordering a martini shaken not stired was considered rather outrageous and it got people's attention.

Bond is not a sissy, he's bloody marine and he can handle his drink.

@@Bulls3ye86 why order 100 proof if your going to drink it watered down. If you order good vodka you want to taste its quality.
It’s still got the same amount of booze in it silly haha. Your getting everything he put in the shaker poured out into the glass. It might taste weaker but it’s the same amount of alcohol

Makes sense, but i think the actual reason is so he's less likely to get drunk

1:00 sounds like you've had a few practice ones already lol

You want it stirred because it would be thick and oily rather than spritzy I’m an at home bartender
The point with jb is to have the crystals and a weeker drink
Of course! If you're a spy you want to look like you're drinking but you stay sober!
Fantastic..Thanks for the lesson..! I prefer stirred !! . Reynaldo Rios 008
yes it's up to the preference of the guest however I will use the method for blended I will add more vodka because of the probability of dilution
I think its Gin as well as Vodka for the Bond one. And Lillet Blanc rather than Vermouth.
Yup that’s the vesper from casino royale, every other dry martini he orders is normal x

Fun fact: the Vesper from casino royale is a gin martini.
The Vesper is a superb cocktail and is definitely fitting for a super spy. 😻 I make them regularly.
@@audiophileman7047I gotta find a bottle of Kina Blanc so I can have a vesper anywhere.
It's actually a gin/vodka, and also non-vermouth, martini. An unconventional one.
Entertaining video. Keep up.
Too long
Thanks you for you video, excelente
Happy birthday Eric.
the one on the left looks horrible. The shaken looks nicer.
So it's vermouth and not martini? 🤔
Martini is basically just a brand of vermouth.
The vermouth called Martini is named after the Martini and Rossi families. The cocktail was named after the Martinez, which seems to have originated in the city by that name in California. The Martinez gave birth not just to the Martini but also inspired the Manhattan, though the Manhattan uses rye or bourbon instead of gin.
Where’s the olive
It’s NOT a martini if its not made with GIN and VERMOUTH. Period.
Most people like it with vodka
It's not like James Bond was going to shoot the bartender for stirring in lieu of shaking, however, if his bartender started flipping cups and bottles around...
Tessie Streets
Regarding the thumbnail, the 1 on the right.
this is why you dont use autofocus
but .... any taste difference? ...
Show.
I like mine with vodka, dirty and shaken like a screaming baby.
Is that one with olive brine?
@@tannergrinzel1835 yes
Great!

It's watered down alcohol.
Why use so much ice.
Chill the vodka and vermouth in a fridge first. Use only ice in the cocktail class.
Get your other arm tattooed. Even it out, it needs done.
