MIU France 3-Piece Stainless Steel Dimpled Cocktail Shaker, 18-Ounces
Amazon Price: $20.99 (as of 02/17/2012)
It's hard to make a cocktail without some tools of the trade and one of those tools is a great cocktail shaker. There are a couple of different type of cocktail shaker, this one contains a built in strainer which is fantastic.
The dimpled design brings back the elegance of the 1950s when martini's were all the rage. It is also a larger shaker which enables you to mix more than one cocktail at a time. This is great for both those intimate moments as well as when you have a houseful of guests.
White Stinger
3/4 shot white creme de menthe
3/4 shot white creme de cacao
Shake all of the ingredients together with ice and strain into a cocktail glass to serve.
Woo-Woo
4 parts peach schnapps
8 parts cranberry juice
Put ice cubes into a highball glass, pour all of the ingredients in and stir.
Libbey 16-Piece Swerve Glassware Set
Amazon Price: $26.95 (as of 02/17/2012)
This set includes 8 highball glasses as well as 8 old fashioned glasses, both are important glassware for the mixologist inside of us all. The swerve design is really cool and if you want to 'trick' your friends you could switch out their glasses from 'straight' to 'swerve' on their second drinks :)
These glasses always received flattering comments from guests and just take those delicious drinks that you have made to the next level.
Cocktails Beginning with X
Xanthia
3 parts cherry brandy
3 parts yellow chartreuse
Put all of the ingredients into a cocktail shaker, with ice, shake, strain and serve in a Martini glass
Xena
1/2 shot bison grass vodka
1 tsp Lillet Blanc
Named after Xena, the Warrior Princess. Shake all of the ingredients together with ice, next strain into a cocktail glass to serve.
Z-Stem Martini Glasses Set of 8
Amazon Price: (as of 02/17/2012)
These Z-stemmed martini glasses offer a classic design with a twist...............or should that be a z? They are stylish, will not date and at only $19.99 for 8 very affordable. What more could a cocktail whizz want??
Xeres Cocktail
dash orange bitters
Stir the ingredients together with ice in a mixing glass and strain into a cocktail glass to serve.

Yale Cocktail
1 part dry vermouth
1/4 tsp Maraschino liqueur

Combine all of the ingredients, with ice, in a shaker and shake well. Strain into a cocktail glass to serve.
3 Piece Bar Cocktail Shaker Kit
Amazon Price: $16.95 (as of 02/17/2012)
This shaker is essentially two halfs which has the advantage of doubling up as a mixing glass when you wish to stir your cocktails instead of shaking them.
This set combines the Boston Shaker with a strainer which will help avoid any messes when trying to strain using just the two parts of the shaker.........it looks easy, but after the first few cocktails you will be happy you had a strainer :)

2 parts creme de bananes
2 parts half-n-half
Place all of the ingredients, along with ice, into a cocktail shaker and shake well. Strain into a cocktail glass to serve.

4 parts yellow chartreuse
Put all of the ingredients, along with some ice, into a shaker, shake then strain into a Martini glass.
Cocktails Beginning with Z
Zabaglione Martini

1/2 shot Cognac
3/4 shot freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 fresh egg yolk
Shake all of the ingredients together with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass to serve.
Zaza Cocktail
2 parts gin
dash of orange bitters
Combine all of the ingredients, with ice, in a cocktail shaker, shake well then strain to serve in a Martini glass.
Riedel Vinum Martini Glass, Set of 2
Amazon Price: $39.95 (as of 02/17/2012)
A classic cocktail glass. What more can I say? These ones are a little smaller than some on the market, but they feel really good when holding them which is an important test for me.
These are Bavarian made by Riedel and because they contain more than 24% lead crystal they have excellent clarity. An affordable luxury.
Zero Martini
1 shot freshly squeezed orange juice
1 dash grenadine
Shake all of the ingredients together with ice, then strain into a cocktail glass.
Zulu Warrior
1 part Strawberry Liqueur
1 part lemon juice
4 strawberries
2 pieces of rockmelon
ice
Blend all of the ingredients together and serve in a highball glass.
