This could be a fun exercise to try once with a friend, but I know I'd regret it afterward.You forget the final step. Repeat 8x before lunch, and another 8x before dinner, then 8x before bed.

It's not about martinis, it's about Bond's reaction to danger. He can be physically shaken, but never emotionally stirred.
I like this interpretation.
These are of a piece, and both pretty good.Of course, I think both of these are Kessel Run explanations. I'm pretty sure Bond has a signature drink because he's the kind of bougie bro that likes to show off by giving bartenders instructions on how to make his signature drink. The actual cocktail never really mattered.
Except a glass of water with ice will also get cloudy if you shake it vigorously. Fun idea, though.Another related one is this: It's his way of showing off that he's drinking full strength cocktails. Some people intentionally drink "clear" drinks because you can water them down without being noticed. So at any point you could switch from martinis to water with an olive, and your party friends (or enemy henchmen for Bond) can't tell how many drinks you've had. But if aerating the drink by shaking it makes it cloudy, as has been suggested in this thread, then shaking becomes a way to visually tell people "this is still full strength, because I'm a bad mofo who hates his liver".

Yes. And if you remember the line in Casino Royale where he specifies Gordon's as a brand, you see that in a number of the books as well. Fleming name drops specific brands to set exactly what kind of consumer Bond is.I'm pretty sure Bond has a signature drink because he's the kind of bougie bro that likes to show off by giving bartenders instructions on how to make his signature drink.

Pretending that pure gin or pure vodka are martinis is so weird. Who are they trying to fool and why?
OK I just rewatched both of Dalton’s Bond films today. I must admit I was mistaken. Bouvier is a badass throughout the film and is no swooning damsel even by the end.Really? All I can really remember about his two films is that one of them featured a Bond girl who started out on equal footing but ended up a simpering swooning damsel by the end of it. That and his version of Felix Lighter gets eaten by a shark, right?
