Martini or cocktail, a good shake makes all the difference in the world. I have at least a dozen shakers, but this one is my favorite. It doesn’t leak, and the cap is a measuring cup that will measure from 1/2 ounce to 1.5 ounces. And it is dishwasher safe! You can’t go wrong with this shaker.

Another handy bar tool is the citrus juicer. Unless you free pour and don’t measure, this citrus juicer makes measuring citrus juices like limes and lemons, a breeze.

If you like Mojitos, another handy bar tool is the muddler.

How to make a Coconut Rum Mojito

First rim the glasses. Spread the marshmallow creme on a small plate.

Place the sweetened coconut flakes on another small plate.

Roll the rim of each glass in the marshmallow creme.

Rimming the glass with marshmallow fluff — Rimming the glass with marshmallow creme

Place the glasses, one at a time, rim down into the coconut flakes. Set the glasses aside.

‘Muddle’ or mash the limes, mint leaves and simple syrup together in the cocktail shaker to release their flavor. Don’t have a muddler? Try this one. It’s important that the muddler you buy is longer than the height of your cocktail shaker, minus the top.

Then add the coconut water, Coconut and White Rums, fresh lime juice and shake well to combine. Pour the ingredients into 2 tall glasses filled with ice. Serves 2.
