1936 Shaking in the 60's by Eddie Clarke

Equipment

Fashion in bar equipment has changed little over the years. Once in a while a new gimmick cocktail shaker is introduced, and for a while it fills the desired need of new presents at Christmastide. But long before another year comes along they are used to better advantage as a container for displaying flowers, or a receptacle in which to keep collar studs, buttons and bows.Thus then, without further ado, we move into the buying market and select tools with which to dig the foundations of our cocktail

success.

We shall need the following:

Two silver plated, or chromium cocktail shakers holding approximately one pint. Be sure to write two shakers on your wanted list for wedding presents, or any other such gift- receiving occasions, as you will need one for delicate drinks,and the other for ingredients containing high flavours, i.e. rums, or pernod, etc. Be sure all shakers are well
