This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Most mixed drinks are shaken, I've never been a martini guy but I'd expect a martini to be shaken.
My understanding is that the phrase is code to identify/activate assets to aid Bond, but at some point along the way the writers forgot that and it turned into Bond being a karen.
Martinis are normally stirred.
Except... Vodka martini made with potato vodka which is more oily and was the one widely available when Flemming wrote Bond. So you need to shake it for the mix to work properly.
It is possible that Martinis are typically shaken now because of the popularity of James bond for the past several decades?
Martinis are like the Red Stapler.
That's indeed possible
Never been much of a drinks guy, but I think everything is usually shaken in a cocktail shaker, and has been for many years even before Bond.
I wouldn’t say most cocktails are shaken.
Most spirit heavy cocktails are stirred.
Anything in the Negroni family will be stirred. Anything in the old fashioned family, martini family, etc. Basically any cocktail that is predominantly just spirits.
You shake when you have mixers like citrus, egg, or dairy.
