Robert De Niro trains bartenders how to make ‘halftini’

New York, Mar 22 (ANI): It seems Robert De Niro is very particular about his cocktails.
The Hollywood actor-director recently trained bartenders at Swifty’s and at Lucky Strike Lanes how to make a ‘halftini’ - and it makes James Bond’s ’shaken, not stirred’ mantra seem like minor mixology, reports the New York Post.
“Fill a shaker with ice to the top; squeeze in five lemon twists; use Absolut vodka and “a little extra” dry vermouth. Shake very well until ice cold. Strain the drink twice into a cold martini glass with three more twists. Serve,” said a source who explained the whole drill. (ANI)
