I did not know that there is a back story to the " shaken not stirred " for James Bond and the way he enjoyed his martini's. Learn more in the video > https://youtu.be/5t3U7QlSNlQ
Now for another obscure National day
NATIONAL MARTINI DAY
On June 19, shake up some gin and vermouth with some ice and add a lemon twist. It’s National Martini Day!
This adult beverage has grown to become one of the best-known mixed alcoholic drinks. A cocktail made with gin and vermouth, the martini is normally garnished with an olive or lemon twist.
James Bond, the fictional spy, sometimes asked for his vodka martinis to be “shaken, not stirred.”
Some people prefer to have their martinis served “on the rocks”, which is the ingredients poured over ice cubes and served in an old-fashioned glass.
Dirty martini – Martini with a splash of olive brine or olive juice and is typically garnished with an olive.
Over the years, the traditional martini has had a number of variations added to it and other flavors have evolved such as the cosmopolitan, chocolatini or appletini.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Mix your favorite martini and drink responsibly. Use #NationalMartiniDay to share on social media.

Within our research, we were unable to find the creator of National Martini Day. Just as well ! James Bond will probably find it !

Good evening my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell To be honest I never developed a liking or even a tolerance for martini's :-)
That being said Ian Fleming's line for James Bond shaken not stirred amused me. :-)
I always wondered if Martians liked martini's. In the TV show "My Favorite Martian" show weekly on CBS from September 29, 1963, to May 1, 1966.
I found no evidence of onscreen drinking on that sitcom.
Yet a drinking glass materialized :-)
