WORDS BY SEAN CHAFFIN

Looking to mix up a great martini or get a bit wasted again in margaritaville? Or perhaps that perfect bourbon blend is in order? When it comes to spirits and mixology, the utensils and craftsmanship involved are all part of the experience. As David Sedaris noted: “No amount of physical contact could match the healing powers of a well made cocktail.” Many Enthusiast Report readers would probably agree. Crafting that perfect drink can get a night of laughs and conversation with friends started on just the right note. Here are some great home cocktail sets to consider when getting the fun going.

ENCORE BAR TOOLS SET & COCKTAIL SHAKER

This martini and cocktail set has everything one might need to mix that perfect spirits concoction. The polished look and sleek lines and polished finish of the shaker and bar tools offer an elegant design that’s sure to turn heads as you begin crafting that perfect mix. Each component features durable stainless steel construction not found in other lesser cocktail sets. The set includes a double-wall cocktail shaker, strainer, bottle opener, ice tongs, stirring spoon, double-sided jigger, and stand – everything needed to get the party started. Williams Sonoma has also gone the extra mile on construction. The shaker is insulated to keep condensation forming on the exterior, preventing slippage when mixing and pouring. A silicone seal between the lid and shaker also prevents leaks. Select that favorite cocktail recipe and enjoy.
