Where to Find Vintage Cocktail Shakers

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

A quick tip this morning for those with an affinity for retro barware. If you’re looking to add a vintage shaker to your collection, or get one started (a great idea if you haven’t already), then hit up CocktailShakers.com. The site looks seriously old school, but they’ve got a great selection of interesting vintage pieces. Even if you’re not in the market for a $400 shaker, you can educate yourself with a little cocktail history. And of course, there’s alway eBay for the budget route. Hit that here.

Our featured shaker:

This is a beautiful Napier recipe cocktail shaker. It is 11″ tall and the recipes are complete with the original red lettering! Inside is mirror like new! There is one slight dent on very bottom of outer sleeve,and the outside could use a little polishing if desired. - $285 at Cocktailshakers.com

Rocket Ship Shaker

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

While not authentically vintage we’ll give the Rocket Shaker points for an inspired design. This stainless steel shaker will mix your drinks in style and fondly remind you of the day only when monkey’s went to space. Detachable plastic fins make for easy cleaning and an aluminum nose cone shot glass makes for easy pre-orbit drinking.

Available at the BodyMonkey.com for $32.99.
