The craft cocktail movement
is flooding the country. It’s one this to have a bartender do it all for you,
but more and more people are assembling their own bars at home. Key to any and
all of them is a shaker in which to meld that cocktail so it’s just right. I
have a metal one at my house, and it works just fine. But there’s a new
iteration coming to market, Shaker 33 and it’s aiming to have you replace your
old shaker. I have a prototype, a clear plastic one (they are also available in
black, frosted and steel but I much prefer to see my booze clearly) which is three
parts. The long body, the snap in strainer, and the lid which also has a snap
lock and silicon seal around it so nothing will spill out. I know this for
certain as I shook it vigorously and held it upside down looking for any
leaking, since no one wants a mess to contend with. The other nice thing about
Shaker33 is that given it’s elongated body, it’s much easier to hold and shake
with just one hand. Every house needs a shaker, even if your cocktails are
infrequent, and the Shaker33 might just get you motivated enough to make even
more cocktails. Shaker 33 has a Kickstarter campaign and it won’t be for sale
on their website during the campaign but pledging bucks to fund the Kickstarter
will get you a Shaker, (black, clear, or frosted) in a display box and a free
cocktail recipe book. So check it out, shake it up and pour yourself a well
deserved drink. SHAKER33
