One of the newly added products folks can find on the exclusive online retailer Hammacher Schlemmer could make for the one device almost all of us wished for ever since we went off to college. Named the Covert Aeronautical Cocktail Shaker, it comes with an Art-Deco airplane shape that made us think of the famous Airbus Beluga, considered one of the world’s strangest-looking airplanes.
The Airbus A300-600ST has recently celebrated 20 years of existence, but this article is not about that. However, the moment we’ve stumbled upon this cocktail shaker we instantly thought about the whale-like shaped famous airplane. Beluga is a version of the standard A300-600 wide-body airliner modified to carry aircraft parts and oversized cargo. At first, it was named Super Transporter.
Now, back to our little party toy. According to the source, it’s shape is supposed to recall the covert cocktail shakers developed during prohibition, an Art-Deco airplane shaker that serves up chilled drinks. The fuselage-shaped shaker rests horizontally on the winged stand with two propellers, evoking an executive’s desk ornament. It removes from the stand, while its rounded lid opens for adding enough ice, vermouth, gin and olive juice for three mean martinis.
The three aeronautical stabilizers act as sturdy feet for keeping the shaker upright on a bar and the plated nickel exterior can be hand washed and buffed to maintain its sheen. That being said, for 100 bucks you’ll have the shaker that could make the difference.
So, are you ready to party on the weekend?
