My Story
While I have always loved to entertain, initially, I knew nothing about mixed drinks. When I had a party, I would pick up beer and maybe a bottle of wine. One Christmas, I was so excited to try making a holiday cocktail. After the first sip, none of my guests drank anymore of it. The Christmas cocktail was a flop.
A few years later, I wanted to travel seriously, so I got a part-time job as a cocktail waitress. As I watched the bartender mix up cocktails, I was amazed at the endless possibilities, beautiful colors, and fancy decorations. I wanted to know more, so I studied the recipes and tasted every drink I served. Then I finally got to bartend. I’ve learned two reasons why drinks might taste terrible: either they weren’t made correctly, or the recipe was wrong.
I’m not the showiest bartender. I’m not lightning-fast, nor can I throw my shaker in the air and catch it without spilling a drop. But I have become the “cocktail barista” I am today, serving fabulous drinks at all my parties and happy hours with the girls. I love to see the smiles on my family and friends’ faces as they experience the flavor of something extraordinary, made with love just for them. And I want the same for you!
It all starts with the right tools
Martini or cocktail, a good shake makes all the difference in the world so buying a cocktail shaker can seriously step up your at-home drink game. Think about it: no more settling for boring mixed drinks when you can whip up bar-quality cocktails in your kitchen. It’s not just about the fancy presentation (although that’s a fun bonus) but also about how it makes mixing drinks easier and more fun.
I have at least a dozen shakers, but one favorite! The shaker doesn’t leak; you won’t have to hit the shaker against the sink to get the top off, and the cap will measure from 1/2 to 1.5 ounces with clearly marked labels. Measure the perfect amount every time. And it is dishwasher safe!
Plus, once you get the hang of shaking, you’ll feel like a total pro, impressing your friends and yourself with your newfound bartending skills. So why not add a little shake, shake, shake to your life and upgrade your happy hour?
