i couldn't tell you whether or not its vodka more often but it's likely 
because we sell many more vodka martini's than gin.  people seem to want their 
martini/manhattan ice cold, cold as possible, they don't seam to care about 
whether or not the drink is cloudy for 5 seconds after shaking.  i'll pay 
attention to the numbers on these drinks  i realize you are very passionate 
about the shaken/stirred debate, it just seams as if i've read the same thread 
over and over, not trying to down play its importance. 

Modnar, you are correct in wanting to educate your guests to a proper drink, 
i'm with you on that.  alright, next plymouth gin 'tini i order, i'll have it 
stirred.
