Whenever we can get over to Bar Agricole in San Francisco, we find ourselves enamored with their stock of vintage cocktail shakers. Here are two current favorites, one high, one low (in price, at least).
Above: Designed in 1957, the Avio Cocktail Shaker from Alessi is a modern classic still in production; $133 at Canoe in Portland, Oregon.
Above: The streamlined Schott Zwiesel Schumann Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker; $35 at Amazon.
