Shaken, not stirred

A vodka martini "Shaken, not stirred" is how Ian Fleming's fictional British Secret Service agent James Bond prefers his martini cocktail.

The catchphrase first appears in the novel ''Diamonds Are Forever'' (1956), though Bond himself does not actually say it until ''Dr. No'' (1958), where his exact words are "shaken and not stirred." In the film adaptations of Fleming's novels, the phrase is first uttered by the villain, Dr. Julius No, when he offers the drink in ''Dr. No'' (1962), and it is not uttered by Bond himself (played by Sean Connery) until ''Goldfinger'' (1964). It is used in numerous Bond films thereafter with the notable exceptions of ''You Only Live Twice'' (1967), in which the drink is wrongly offered as "stirred, not shaken", to Bond's response "Perfect", and ''Casino Royale'' (2006) in which Bond, after losing millions of dollars in a game of poker, is asked if he wants his martini shaken or stirred and snaps, "Do I look like I give a damn?"
