I use canning jars for everything these days, so why not add one more can-do to the list: a cocktail shaker! Want to see how it works?
Our friends over at Simply Stated caught this great little tutorial over at Instructables. You just need two lids: one with which to shake, and one to punch holes in. It's a fine solution for small space dwellers who don't have much cabinet or counter space.

When I began stocking my home bar a couple years ago, I was on a tight budget, so I started by focusing on one cocktail at a time, buying just the components of that drink. If you have friends or relatives who are looking to expand their mixed drink horizons, use this strategy to give them a thoughtful gift they'll appreciate: make them a cocktail kit.
Trying to recreate a stellar Ramos Gin Fizz she had at a bar, Megan of Not Martha found that she wasn't able to get the deep layer of egg-white foam she was looking for by just shaking up the drink in her cocktail shaker. Instead, she experimented with repurposing a kitchen unitasker into an effective egg-white cocktail maker that turned out to be "so easy," she says, "it felt like cheating."
Most people are aware that Port wine is from Portugal. But not all are familiar with the fact that northern Portugal, home to all those rich Ports, also produces a slew of spritzy light white wine in the Vinho Verde region, and even fewer know how good this wine tastes when mixed with gin and served cold.
Often Vinho Verde tops wine lovers' lists for best sips of the summer. On a hot day, these light- bodied, crisp, acidic, spritzy whites are a perfect choice of drink. Many grapes are used throughout the sub-regions of Vinho Verde, but if you're just getting started, I recommend focusing on bottles labeled Alvarinho. Vinho Verdes made from 100% Alvarinho grapes are consistently great whites. Yes, this name sounds just like another fab white pouring from Spain, Albario, but these whites are all Portuguese.
On a recent visit to one of the smaller producers of the region, Soalheiro (www.soalheiro.com) I was charmed to find a brother/ sister team (he makes the wine, she makes the cured pork products totally love it!) who served up a vertical tasting that proved Vinho Verde from a stellar producer, though seemingly delicate on the surface, has the brawn to go the distance in the cellar too. Vintage after vintage these wines proved to be delicious, interesting and age-worthy. Since it had the moxie to stand up to time I thought why not give these whites a spin in the cocktail shaker and see how they hold up there.
