1936 Shaking in the 60's by Eddie Clarke

Ice crusher. For the purpose of producing finely ground ice for juleps and similar drinks. Failing this piece ofequipment,a heavy canvas bag and a wooden mallet is perfectly suitable, but find a cleaner foundation than the doorstep to do the hammering on. P.S. Keep the mallet handy at the party. It is always useful for tapping the knuckles ofyour guests who are trying to equip their own bars at home at the expense of your own.

One ice pick. Always an added piece or armoury to the above, in case the said guest is already turning away.

Ice bowl and tongs and one ice scoop. It is bad manners to handle things, even if wearing mittens. Anyway, the ice will give you chilblains.

Swizzle stick. A natural product of the West Indies. It consists of the dried stem of a plant which has radiating branches. The stem is twirled rapidly between the palms of the hands, causing the forked branch ends to whisk up a perfect mixture to a drink.
