No cocktail party is complete without a cocktail shaker! (Have you ever tired to make a drink “shaken, not stirred” in a regular cup? Trust us, it’s a messy idea.) Add some atmosphere and accessorize your cocktail lounge with at least one quality cocktail shaker and of course vintage cocktail glasses. Even the really inexpensive plastic shakers work great, but they will start to crack over time and will have to be replaced. For something with a longer life look for a glass or metal shaker. Thankfully there is an increasingly large number of unique shakers on the market, but for the ultimate swanky look you have to pick up a vintage cocktail shaker. Retro barware isn’t just cool looking though, it’s plenty functional, too. Salut!
