   I’ve never even had a martini, but this article states that stirring martinis is thought be some connoisseurs to be the correct way to prepare one:

     stirring IS the correct way to make one, the crushed ice doesn’t do as much for it as the gentle stirring motion of a stirred martini…

   Alton Brown says vodka martinis can be shaken, but a gin martini should always be stirred, as not to bruise the gin.

     But vodka martinis are an abomination. A martini is made with gin.
     So there. ;-)
