Cocktail Hour - The Bar Blog  Archive for the 'Bar Tools' CategoryThe Baddest Bottle OpenersThursday, June 21st, 2007
More lists. Here’s a collection of the most unique bottle openers ever created from the folks at Double Viking (no idea why they are called Double Viking?). My favorite has to be the belt buckle “gitty gitty go” opener. The one picture here attaches to your fridge with a super strong magnet, so it stays put when you pop the top. Bar Tools - JiggerThursday, June 14th, 2007
A typical jigger has two measures - 1 ounce and 1 1/2 ounce. Personally, I like the double cup versions, a 1 oz. and 1 1/2 oz. side. Some have a handle. I have a nifty one that has a bottle opener in the handle and cup doubles as a small hammer to break up ice. If you are serious about making great cocktails, pick up a good jigger and go to town. More Bar Tools… Lazydrinker Automatic Drink MixerWednesday, March 7th, 2007
Want a cocktail, but don’t feel like mixing drinks? Well now you can have the, aptly named “Lazydrinker” do it for you. The Lazydrinker looks like a normal ice chest, but in reality it is a computer controlled drink mixing wonder. Each unit, which retails for about $450, can hold 16 ingredients which are precisely mix according the recipe. The computer’s recipe database has over 5000 drinks, so you can try something different everday for like the next 15 years. The Lazydrinker units can also be chained together, aloowing you to add even more ingredients. Preparing Drinks in a BlenderThursday, March 1st, 2007
Suck & BlowWednesday, February 14th, 2007
The perfect Valentine’s treat! The Suck & Blow is a fun new way for people to share Jello shots. Invented by Doug Hamer of South Carolina, the S & B , as it is know, is a jello shot encased in a six inch tube. What results is unabated fun, sexy fun. Two drinkers suck and blow to get the shot out of the tube. What a great ice breaker. The folks at Suck & Blow sell DIY kits and prefilled tubes. I couldn’t tell from the website if the premade shots contain alcohol, bit does it really matter? Suck & Blow (via Thrillist) Bodum Pavina Thermal GlassesWednesday, January 24th, 2007

Mixing Drinks in an electric blender can be tricky. Not enough time and the cocktail is not mixed well, too much and it turns to slush. Here’s how we do it. Of course, you may need to adjust depending on your blender. Typically, you are goin gto use a bleder in drinks involving fruit, cream, eggs and that are frozen.First, add 1 scoop of ice (about 1 cup) to the blender. Next, add you ingredients (booze, fruit, cream, etc…) according to the recipe. Secure the lid (this may seem trivial, but ya never know) and blend on low for 10 seconds. Let sit for a second and then blend on high for 10 seconds. At this point it should be done. If the cocktail is still a bit think blend it for 5 more seconds, but that is it. Pour into the chilled (this is critical) galss of you choice. Garnish and serve.
I may have found the perfect glassware. These handblown glasses by Bodum are double walled, which keeps the hot, hot and the cold, cold. The “Pavina” I purchased style feels great in the hand, and no annoying table rings. I know it’s anal, but I hate rings. Bodun makes a few other styles of these doublewalled wonders. They really work, and are stylish to boot.
