9. Did he buy into the James Bond wrong Martini myth?
Martini's should be stirred, not shaken.

Though, for the sake of quickness, I shake mine, slam it on the counter, and then let it sit for the few moments it takes to get the olives or twist ready. After a few moments, the gin resettles down and the bubbles go away.
