Jesus Christ. Perhaps the most pernicious example of what martini jerkoffs find necessary to debate is the idea of “bruising”.
“Shaking bruises the Martini”
“No it doesn’t, stirring bruises the gin!”
“Shaking bruises gin and stirring bruises vodka”
“Vermouth can’t be bruised. It is invulnerable to the machinations of Earth mortals…”
What fucking ever. Goes back to James Bond as well, who after all, might be the only cool martini drinker ever. Why? Because he drank his any way he felt like having it and not according to some rigid, dimwitted sense of tradition or formalized drinky code. Bond would get himself a dry vodka martini in one story, and then make it medium dry in another. And that’s when he wasn’t mixing vodka with gin and Kina Lillet in his famous “Vesper” martini. That's the culprit cocktail which would incite generations of morons into strident squawking arguments over the details of this cold cup of booze. And for the record, where James Bond was concerned, it wasn’t the shaking- It was the stirring that would bruise the gin. Now that seems counterintuitive and perhaps that’s why everybody fucks up the quotes. Just remember that Bond wanted his drink shaken in the first place then stop remembering anything about it at all. How or why bruising occurs exactly I haven’t the foggiest and never will because it doesn’t mean shit beyond Ian Fleming’s sense of what a suave secret agent should say. It’s a line in work of fiction, dummies, and it amounts to no more than my saying “Don’t put a lime in my tequila – citrus cuts its dick off.”
