Snyder Martini

A 2:1 Dry Martini but with a splash of orange curaçao taking the dry edge off and adding more subtle complexity than orange bitters

Like most cocktails in his book, Harry Craddock called for this cocktail to be shaken. However, modern bartending convention calls for this cocktail to be stirred.

Slightly off topic, but I have frequently seen the claim that Fleming wrote Bond as preferring his martinis shaken because this indicated a certain lack of breeding. Your point about Craddock's book suggest to me that this might just be a myth?
