shaken not stirred
Martini preparation method
Shaken not stirred describes James Bond's famous preference for how his martini should be mixed—in a cocktail shaker with ice rather than stirred in a mixing glass.
The phrase has become shorthand for exacting personal standards or stylish particularity: He likes his coffee shaken not stirred—exactly 180 degrees with oat milk.
