What are you drinking tonight?

Well I have to say I don’t like green olives. So the dirty martini I did not like at all. The Gibson was fine and I liked the cucumber one. Refreshing.
 
I've heard of you people that don't like olives. Just didn't know you existed. Crazies!
 
As KJ said, whether shaken or stirred, the martini should cause about the same amount of ice melt. The shaker might cause a tiny bit more, but not noticeably more. The big difference is that the shaker will get the drink much colder more quickly than stirring. So, what Bond is actually asking for is the coldest martini he can get.

Also, the only true martini is made with good gin and olives, with maybe a slight hint of dry vermouth.
