Martini should be served Shaken or Stirred?

Last week special Agent 007 personally delivered a bottle of the collector's edition (limited edition) Belvedere Vodka SPECTRE 007 to me. The SPECTRE 007 movie is coming up soon so as Mr. Bond’s drinks. Mr. Bond insist that his Belvedere vodka martini was to be “shaken not stirred” that the phrase itself entered the lexicon and in 2005 was selected as one of the 100 most famous lines in film. Martini should be served Shaken or Stirred?

Since then the Belvedere vodka martini has been a continual reassuring presence in the Bond film series, but it shot to the forefront once again with Daniel Craig in Casino Royale.

Martini should be served Shaken or Stirred?

Well the purists would argue for stirring it chills the molecules in the vodka without bruising them and altering their original taste. With Belvedere, the dry vanilla notes are more accentuated. Bond would argue that a vodka martini that isn’t shaken is no martini at all. Certainly there is an energy and aeration in the shaken drink that provides a cleaner colder taste.
