  Shaken let’s more ice melt, waters it down more, making it less alcoholic. He wasn’t trying to get trashed. He had people to kill.

    Ian Fleming wanted to portray Bond as a guy who knew nothing about fancy stuff and this was done to illustrate that. First off he drinks wodka martini’s which is a bit of a faux pas and second he thinks having a specific preference whether it should be stirred or not made him look like he knew what he was doing. The man was an orphan who grew up far away from anything elegant and most of all he wanted to fit into the Casino Royal lifestyle without knowing the first thing about it.

      Pretty sure that is how spies are trained though. They need to be able to blend in everywhere, and that includes esoteric knowledge with specific preferences in order to not fall out of line with the other pompous people.

    But the total of alcohol in the drink is the same, isn’t it? Just adding more water to it doesn’t get you less drunk.

      Yes it does… That’s called Dilution.

  Shaken has little bits of ice and is slightly aerated.

  Do you expect Bond to test how effectively his martini breaks down hydrogen peroxide?

  In contrast, make a margarita or espresso martini by stirring the ingredients.

  Then try the same drinks made in a shaker
