"'Shaking tends to be a more energy-intensive process and also creates small shards of ice that melt quickly. This creates more dilution, assuming shake and stir times are equal.'"
"'The key difference comes down to dilution,' Ms O'Neil, who runs the Art of Drink YouTube channel, told the Daily Mail."
"'I would like a medium Vodka dry Martini - with a slice of lemon peel. Shaken and not stirred, please. I would prefer Russian or Polish vodka.'"
James Bond's classic vodka martini is made with vodka, vermouth and ice, garnished with a large thin slice of lemon peel. Shaking a martini breaks ice into small shards that melt quickly and cause greater dilution, which reduces overall flavor even as the drink becomes colder. Stirring is a less energy-intensive agitation that preserves larger ice pieces and limits dilution when agitation times are equal. The traditional martini is typically made with gin and should be agitated with ice before being drained into a cocktail glass. Bond first requested a shaken vodka martini in Dr No.
