I once heard the “shaken, not stirred” line is from the books.
So in the books, he is more Bad Ass than gentleman and doesnt give a fuck about society rules. To drink a Martini Shaken was so obviously wrong, the reader knew once more knew, this guys plays by his own rules and standards.
I didnt read the books and have no fucking clue about upper class Drinks or behavior, so I cant confirm this :|
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.
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.
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.

I wouldn’t say most cocktails are shaken.
Most spirit heavy cocktails are stirred.

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.
