Dear R,
"The issue of shake vs. stir is one of proper mixology
technique, and not all cocktails are created by folks who are properly trained
in this skill"
Oh please do tell me where one finds proper mixology techniques... I didn't
realise that there was a right way of doing this stuff.
Not all cocktail are created thus but let us remember the limitations ofthe
age when this drink was created... does this mean that if the Martinez was
shaken then the person who invented it invented it wrong ;)
aw
