Stainless Steel Bar Accessories - Steel Bar Sets | Steel Cocktail Shaker | Steel Ice Buckets | Wine Cooler | Steel Peg Measures

If you entertain frequently at home and would love to serve all things from scratch to your guests, including their drinks, then you would relish the idea of having a bar counter in your home.

However, all your numerous cookware and serving ware may get in the way and you find you cannot bring your dream to life in your already cramped kitchen and dining area. 

Fret not, because when push comes to shove, the only equipment that you really need is a single steel cocktail shaker.

A steel cocktail shaker is used in drinks that contain fruit juices, syrups, very thick liqueurs, or any ingredients that demand a thorough mix.  The topcap should fit very tightly to the point of almost being difficult to remove so as to ensure that none of the ingredients leak or seep out when a drink is being concocted and shaken up. 

Because the ice gets knocked about in the steel cocktail shaker, there may be considearble dilution, and a clear drink cannot easily be produced.  You can therefore tell if a steel cocktail shaker is of quality design by checking whether it incorporates a strainer in the topmost chamber.  This also simplifies the serving of drinks.

Place them on the top of a small cabinet or the shorter side of the dining table or even on your coffee table.

  If space is really a major problem, you can reduce the number of liquors by pre-planning to serve only one or two types of cocktails for your party each time.  You can prepare all the garnishes for your drinks in advance by using a small knife and cutting board in your kitchen. 

If there are to be many guests, squeeze plenty of juice beforehand for mixed drinks, but not so far in advance that it loses its freshness.

The portability of a steel cocktail shaker also allows you to bring it on romantic picnics or to the beach.  You can even bring it to the office if you have to entertain many well-to-do business clients.  Of course, do not do that unless you have express permission (alcohol is still frowned on in the workplace) or unless you are the boss!
