I guarantee you that I will be trying that one TOMORROW!

What’s wrong with you people?

Maybe a couple of ice cubes and a splash of water.

who’s going to ‘man up’ and admit to sipping these…

I love the taste of a fresh Pink Lady but, I have never tasted that drink!!

I mean, the ice melts when you stir it too.

The general rule that we teach bartenders is: if it's got any kind of juice - shake. If it's all spirits/liqueurs - stir.

Why is that??

Been a Gin and Tonic man for 35 years, one erry night unless in a place wheres it not available.
If we camping the other's all make appearances as movement allows, or long as I can climb into the camper.

Gin is one I have never been able to acquire a taste for.

Same...always liked brown liquor...vodka, gin, etc. never really suited my taste.

Why is that??

Sort of what he said: shaking makes it cloudy and makes the juice foam. The agitation of the ice mixes tiny air bubbles in = cloudy. When there’s juice it’s not noticeable. Also mixes in thinks like egg white and cream thoroughly. The foam on top makes a nice presentation in things like a painkiller, margarita, sour, etc. These are usually served over ice.

Stirring keeps the drink clear, and i think gets it a bit colder initially. This is important for the presentation when you’re serving it without ice i.e. Manhattan, Sazerac, Martini. It makes a ’smoother’ drink

The only time you need to make the decision between shaking and stirring depends on how well endowed your bartender is.
