What is a martini? Or better yet, what isn't a martini? And what the heck was 007 even ordering in that poker game with Le Chiffre? In Part 2 of their Cocktails series, Chris and Phil discuss everything you need to know about the martini—it's history, how it's changed, and why choosing to order it shaken or stirred is more than just a way to sound cool. Cheers.
