I’m not a big drinker. I couldn’t tell you how to make a Manhattan. I shudder at the taste of Brandy. But these hand-blown glass Galaxy Martini Shakers, made by Urban Materials + Accessories, are so damn pretty, I’m tempted to forego water for vodka, or gin. They come in four different swirled colors – aqua, violet, orange and green. There are even martini glasses to match. If you were looking for an excuse to entertain, here it is.

Which color would you choose? I’ve decided I prefer the orange. Just don’t make me drink an onion.

/ March 15, 2009Lacochran: Yea! So glad you like them. I’ve always been a sucker for beautiful glass. My window sill is decorated/cluttered with vintage bottles and what not… And the shaker is even affordable as a center piece. Under $40.
LiLu: The orange really does stand out the most, doesn’t it. Plus, it’s nicely unisex and bold. I’ve never bartended (as you may have guessed) but I truly appreciate the service all bartenders provide!
