Need a great Cocktail Shaker but don’t know which one to buy? Look no further.

Here are some awesome products to help YOU make the most incredible drinks. Impress your family and friends and be the BEST Cocktail Barista in your neighborhood.

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?

How to Make a Midnight Sunrise Halloween Shooter

To make the best Midnight Sunrise Shooter, ensure you have high-quality Black Sambuca and orange juice. The rich, anise-flavored Sambuca pairs perfectly with the citrusy sweetness of the orange juice.

Pour the orange juice into a festive Halloween Skull shooter glass.

Slowly pour the Black Sambuca into the orange juice. The Black Sambuca will settle to the bottom.

Your Midnight Sunrise shooter is ready to dazzle your guests. Serve immediately and watch as your friends are mesmerized by its haunting beauty and captivating taste.

Knock them back and let the spookiest holiday of the year begin.
