Vodka Martini History
The Vodka Martini emerged in 1950s America as an alternative to the traditional gin martini as vodka gained popularity.
It became a global icon in the 1962 James Bond film "Dr. No" with the famous line "Shaken, not stirred." While bartenders traditionally stir martinis, Bond's influence popularized the shaken style.
A modern variation of the martini, called "the king of cocktails," it remains one of the most ordered cocktails at bars worldwide.
