Too Tired To Shake Your Own Cocktails?

Filed under: Decor, Gadgets

Has it come to this, do you really need an electric martini shaker? The Waring Pro Electric Martini Shaker/Stirrer delivers your martini shaken, or stirred (Rick at Martini Groove reminds us shaken for vodka drinks, stirred for gin). The martini maker has a 20-oz. brushed stainless steel shaker and a one oz. measuring cap. Personally I enjoy the theatrical aspect of creating drinks and I don't think I'd trust a bartender who used one but this might be a fun gift for the gadget-obsessed. It sells for $99.95.

Sad Ghost Salt and Pepper Shakers

Filed under: Decor


Ghosts are supposed to be scary, especially this time of year, but these little salt and pepper shakers are anything but. Designer Marcel Dzama must have had some reason in mind as far as why these little guys are crying, and although I think they're super cute I would probably not have them in my own home because it would bug me that they're upset all the time (silly, I know!).

The Sad Ghost Salt and Pepper Shakers are porcelain, measure 3" high, and go for $75.

Jonathan Adler Bird Salt and Pepper Shakers

Filed under: Decor


What better for a summer table than a pair of chubby little birds that won't make a mess? Although they are cute and a little chubby, these bird salt and pepper shakers from Jonathan Adler are also modern and classy. Simplified down to their purest form and then accented with bold geometrical patterns, they have a surprising air of life and I almost expect them to bob their little heads in agreement. Created of high fired stoneware and available in either chartreuse or white, the taller one stands 3" high. $48.

Chiringuito Cocktail Shaker

Filed under: Spirits

Make your cocktails shaken with a twist - a twisted shaker, anyway. The Chiringuito Cocktail Shaker was designed for Alessi by Ron Arad. It is made of 18/10 stainless steel and is intentionally twisted to "mimic the motion of the liquid inside." Whether this actually helps your drink to blend better remains to be seen, but it certainly looks good while its in use. Price: $140.

Salt and Pepper by Peugeot

Filed under: Dining, Gadgets

Slashfood likes to spice up their food, and judging by the enthusiasm that they have for Peugeot's electric Salt and Pepper Mills, they don't like to expend a lot of energy to do it. Fortunately for the diner who seeks convenience in addition to good taste, these mills automatically grind up salt and pepper at the touch of a button, no twisting or shaking necessary. The mills use mechanism that is nearly identical to the one that was invented by Peugeot for the first pepper mills back in 1842. Price: $200.

Nambé twist cocktail shaker

Filed under: Decor, Spirits

This stunning shaker is inspired by the curves of a helix. It is made of a special thermal retentive metal called Nambé which holds the cold 3 times longer than other metals. Just stow it in the freezer for about 30 minutes, add your favorite mixers, and out comes chilled drinks without the need for ice.  The Nambé metal will never tarnish, crack, chip or peel. The shaker goes for about $145.
