It is said that the classical Gimlet is made with Gin and concentrated lemon juice , half and half and shaken. However, I think few bar makes it this way now.

Black Velvet is very good with Oysters. Brothers should try.

Thanks for your great suggestions !!!
I would probably try Black Velvet with Oysters one day......if I meet a bar serve both.
I share the same opinion with you in martini. 007's taste somehow an odd one. Vodka martini is also strange for me......but they are also martini for some bar. So choose a suitable bar.
For Gibson, I have never tried it in a bar before. Is tje onion sour or in original taste? I prefer the latter.
I have no knowledge in wine, thinking it is an much more expensive issue besides cocktail, and so dare not to dig in it. Hope your last suggestion will be useful for me one day.
Strange isn't it? For 007, who went to Eton College and university of Geneva, and had such great tastes like Aston Martin, Bollinger and Cavier, he likes his Martini shaken.
A Martini made from Vodka should be called a Vodkatini, and not Martini.
The onion in Gibson is pickled (marinated in vinegar) which means it is sour and not unlike the Chinese KIU TAO.
