Cocktail Shaker

Donna Pilato

What it Does:

Helps you to create the kind of mixed drink that doesn't require a blender.

Problem it Solves:

Lets you mix a cocktail and cool it down without leaving melting ice cubes in your guests' glasses.

Why I Love It:

It makes it easy to mix and cool a drink. Plus, my shaker has the pre-marked recipes for several popular, traditional cocktails on its side. Further, no ice needs to make its way into your guests' glass. Finally, it just looks so professional when you mix a drink in a cocktail shaker.

Best Kitchen Uses:

Martinis are my favorite use for my cocktail shaker. Compare Prices
