what do you guys have for a problem? the video is verry well done!

who cares if the martini is shaked or stired ? and he said : do it howevwer you like it! so dont give thumps down only because you like it stired ...

[pedantic79]

You shake cocktails that need to be well mixed. Drinks that only contain spirits or light mixer should be stirred. This dilutes the drink less. A dry martini should only be made when the customer asks for it 'dry'. A standard martini should not have the vermouth discarded. Vermouth is an essential part of the drink; and is meant to be a balance between the herbs and spices in the gin and those in the vermouth. What you have is watered down cold gin and not a martini.

@pedantic79 well it says ''DRY'' martini in the title so maybe you should fix your eyes before saying this...

@VampireAkis

You can use either one.

[ruedist]

The host is right: The drink must be served as YOU like it.

However, I would use ice which is not melting yet to avoid the drink from getting diluted. And I would not shake it even so the drink gets a nice cloudy look. The reason is, I don't want this cocktail diluted but well chilled. So I also put my martini glas into a freezer while I make the drink and put it out when it's ready to be served.

[VampireAkis]

Guys, I thought they used an olive.

am I wrong?

The best dry Martini in the eyes of a professional is always stirred. The drink will be filled by air bubbles and small shards of ice and will indeed make in into a completely different cocktail, in form of taste and elegancy.
