Hey fellow food and drink lovers. James Bond aside, how do you take your martini? do you prefer the shaken or stirred method and do you think it makes much of a difference?

I have only become interested in martinis recently as i have gone for more sweeter cocktails in the past.

Recipe for this classic cocktail and instructional video! The video shows the stirring method which apparently is better for the drink
