I'm always delighted when someone invites me over for drinks and gets out the cocktail shaker. This bar essential really takes at-home bartending to the next level; I use mine all the time. How about you?

I've actually got two, but I hardly ever make that sort of drink. I do wine and margaritas mostly.
1Happy hour on weekend evenings always sounds like ice shaking in a cocktail shaker! We have two, a little one-drink size and a bigger one that can do two cosmos at a time.
2I have four and they see regular use during a monthly cocktail hour with friends. I'm trending toward the stirred side of the martini and gibson divide, though, as I begin to appreciate the virtues of a clear cocktail.
3yes i do have one (ok, more than one) but i hardly ever use them. i think that i got them when i first moved into my house - but now they are just in a cabinet..gathering dust.
4i've bought several friends cocktail shakers but do not own one myself!
5I get some regular use out of mine when friends are over. Usually the wine glasses see more action, though!
6I have two and they match. How else could I do this:

7Of course! I have several including small ones that are perfect for chilling shots.

Hahaha... My friends call me their mixologist. I've made tons of others I don't have pics of. Like my pumpkin pie martini! Mmmm...
Oh, and for a while I was working really early, and was drinking a slimfast shake in the morning, then having something more substantial 2-3 hours later. I did the Slimfast powder because it was cheaper. I found it was really easy to shake it up in my martini shaker w/ a couple ice cubes to get it extra cold! haha
9They make the perfect gift. Mine is my best amigo.
10No, but I need to get one.
11I have two one small and one big. I actually need a new big one because my BF decided to take it over for his protein drinks.....The nerve.
Anyway, I use mine all the time.
12Why of course darlin!
13Total cocktail girl.
14I have several...and use them once in a while. Usually I just do the cocktail on the rocks.
15i love myself a dirty martini!
16Nope, I don't drink that often.
17We have a few of them in the house and have lots of fun using them, unfortunately I had surgery on my ankle this morning and can't put the cocktail shaker to use tonight!
18Like I need a shaker for shots...
19Yes...I think we have two of them actually. I don't usually use them unless I'm entertaining though.
20I have a little one I use at least a few times a month...I really need to invest in a larger one.
21I have one and love it.
22Love them! I want to have friends over and bust it out very soon. I love fun, new cocktail ideas.
23Well of course! You can usually find mine in the dishwasher on the weekends, as it gets used for my highly sought after Coffee Martinis!!
24I don't use one at home or at work when tending bar at a s=downtown restaurant. I tend to use pint glasses combined with the bottom half of metal shakers.
25takes too long to make a drink with those little shaker caps involved.
I don't own one but want one
26I have one but I'm more of a stirrer than a shaker. No James Bond martinis for me!
27Every fabulous girl should own a shaker and martini glasses.
28I actually own 3, but use 2. My two plastic shakers (one single serve) are my faves. The top doesn't "stick" like the steel ones.
29We're more of a beer/wine household so not necessary.
30No, I love drinking cocktails when I go out, but don't drink much at home, so it wouldn't be worth getting one, plus bottles of various things.
31yes I have one and love using it!
32i'm not a drinker thus i don't own a cocktail shaker.
