Cocktails and Martinis Nick and Nora Style - Foodie Flicks
The other day my head was swimming with the wonder that is Nick and Nora Charles. While this is hardly the arena to talk about the wonder that is The Thin Man, Nick Charles certainly has some worth here at Slashfood.
I've shared a myriad of flicks over these last few months, but never dipped into the world of libations. I figure ol' Nick is the perfect way to change that trend, as he talks about the appropriate way to shake your cocktails. Remember, "the important thing is the rhythm." A Manhattan you shake to the fox trot, and as for the rest, watch the beginning of the clips above to learn the real hippy hippy shake. (You can also learn how to drink them Nora-style soon after.)
What shaking moves do you use for your cocktail making?

How to Throw a Dim Sum Party
11-17-2008 @2:17PM Barry said... Love the 'Thin Man' movies but have to digress in the shaking concept in general. Overall it really isn't that big a deal but the ideally you would stir a Manhattan or Martini. They should be smooth and velvety in texture and shaking them froths the concoction. Whereas stirring doesn't really introduce air.
That said, you can let the drink sit in the shaker for awhile to let it settle but then your risk additional "watery-ness".
What do you mean I over-think my drink?
Oh, and if Nick and Nora really drank as many Martini's as in the movies they get nothing done!
Nick and Nora Martini:
1 1/2 oz gin
1/2 oz dry vermouth
