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

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?

And don’t forget the chilled martini glass. Nothing is worse than a martini in a warm glass. Check out these 2 that I recommend. Joy Jolt set of 6 martini glasses in multi-colors and Crafthouse by Fortessa, set of 4 martini glasses. They are both dishwasher safe.

Joy Jolt is a short martini glass, great for stacking in the freezer, and the Crafthouse by Fortessa is tall and elegant. Still, finding a safe spot to lay it down in the freezer is harder.

Note: The green martini glasses are not Crafthouse glasses. They are for illustration purposes only

I found these beautiful holiday martini glasses, which will be perfect for entertaining this holiday season. They also make an excellent gift for the martini lover or hostess on your list! Don’t forget to pick up a set for yourself.

Snowflake Martini made with Vanilla Vodka and White Chocolate Liqueur

How to make a Snowflake Martini

For an extra frosty martini, chill your glass in the freezer for about 15 minutes before preparing your cocktail.

Rim the Glass – Optional

Start by rimming your martini glass with white edible glitter powder.

You can easily do this by pouring a small amount of white chocolate liqueur onto a small plate. You need just enough to wet the rim of the glass. Then, add the white edible glitter powder to another small plate.

Place the chilled martini glass face down into the white chocolate liqueur and then into the white edible glitter powder to resemble freshly fallen snow.

The Martini

Add the Vanilla Vodka, White Chocolate Liqueur, half and half and simple syrup to a shaker half full of ice.

Let the shaker sit for one minute.

Shake vigorously for 15 seconds then pour the strained ingredients into your martini glass.

Roll a few blueberries in the white chocolate liqueur, then in the glitter powder. Add them to a martini pick and garnish your cocktail.

Raise your glass to the season’s joy this Christmas with a Snowflake Martini. This elegant, snowflake-inspired cocktail looks enchanting and offers a delightful combination of flavors that will add a touch of magic to your holiday festivities. Share the beauty and uniqueness of snowflakes with your loved ones as you toast to the most wonderful time of the year.

Cheers to a Merry Christmas filled with warmth, love, and the elegance of a Snowflake Martini!
