"Nick and Nora Charles" news and stories

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?
