I usually won't pour my Manhattans until I've stirred it enough that frost has formed on the outside of the metal mixing cup. A lot of ice helps.

I think that coctail teacher was continuing an old drinks tradition: Passing along opinion as fact. As for that weirdo green Mojito...I wonder if the drink shown was misidentified. Besides the odd color (maybe they made it with creme de menthe) it looked to me as if it had been strained into the glass, not on the rocks.
