it's just vodka and gin...a lot of spirit with no actual extraordinary taste, the vermouth saves the day by improving it's taste
stirring, not shaking. if shaken the ice get's crushed and melts more than it would do when stirred. this means that the martini's taste would be altered by the dilution with the molten ice.
no matter how fast, how long or how many times you stir, you cannot get that martini colder than the ice is !
This guy has no clue of what he's doing!

the way this "bartender" is shaking this martini in his boston shaker he is destroying the cocktail.
shaking/crushing the icecubs like that, its just water out the cocktail.
a martini suppose to be strong, not water out..
amateur way..
