[QUOTE="kieveryuu, post: 217039, member: 2225"] A nice manhattan is a fine drink. Though my default mixed drink of choice is the whiskey sour. As to stirring vs shaking the key is to remember the rule of thumb "if it is 'clear' then stir, otherwise shake". This is of a course just a general guide but a good one to keep in mind. This is why Bond always had to specify "shaken and not stirred" because his cocktail is composed of clear ingredients. A not clear ingredient is specified as juice, milk and eggs. Hence my whiskey sour is shaken, but a manhattan is stirred. As the OP said, you can very quickly get the measure of a bar tender by how they combine the ingredients. If you did not see the preparation of the drink, let us say you ordered a manhattan, and it is brought to you with a foamy surface and/or is cloudy then the bartender shook the drink. Which as has been established is incorrect. [/QUOTE]
