Swirling the mixing tin is not stirring, in fact, you may have hit on a new
way to prepare cocktails.
I was always taught to stir a martini 7 times in one direction only. Either
that or run your hands down the twist in the barspoon 3 times to turn the
spoon at the base for the correct amount of stirring.
I must admit that where i am from, martini's are few and far between, so i
havent had as much experience as others here.
