I should note one strategy here, Sultana, depending on how you want your drinks to look.
If you're going for a pretty straight martini (pom juice/vodka) and you want it to appear clear, stir it in the shaker instead of shaking it. Shaking makes the drink cloudy (ice crystals). However, if you're putting lime juice or other cloudy things into it, you might as well shake it.
Furthermore, don't forget to chill your martini glasses prior to serving. This is easily accomplished by simply filling them with ice and letting them sit for a minute, then throwing the ice out and pouring the drink into the chilled glass.
