i agree with jes, although you may want to experiment with the ice a little i 
find that about 1.5-1.75x the ammount of ice is adequate when shaking, but 
remember to shake longer and/or more vigourously.  

also, very importantly pour into the glasses alternating between them, i.e. 
1/3 of a, 1/3 of b, 2/3 of a, 2/3 of b, etc. so that the varied concistancy is 
split between them that would normally occur in only one glass.

but yes, if your'e making 2+ identical drinks, feel more than free to shake 
them together, especially if they're to be poured over ice, so that every 
drink is litterally identical.  just make sure that your 1 off is the same as 
your 2-3 off of the same drink.  i think this calls for some back bar practice 
;)
