Tools you'll need

  • BlenderFor frozen drinks. Any countertop blender that can crush ice will do.

  • Cocktail shakerChills, mixes and dilutes shaken drinks in about 12 seconds. A two-piece Boston shaker is the bartender standard.
  • Hawthorne strainerThe spring-edged strainer that holds back ice when you pour from a shaker.
  • PitcherFor batching a round of drinks before guests arrive.

Recommended glassware

  • Rocks glassShort and sturdy — for spirit-forward drinks and sours over ice.
