If you prefer a slightly different martini, shaking could be fun. I think it adds more ice shards.

Hi. I prefer shaking gin martini to allow for the ingredients to better integrate, and mix more thoroughly with the less-dense gin.

You can shake a gin martini, but traditionally, it's stirred to keep it crystal clear and smooth. Shaking can make it a bit cloudy and more diluted. But hey, if you like it shaken, go for it! Enjoy your drink!
