Other Bar Accessories
Jubilee Acrylic Martini Picks, Set of 6
A martini wouldn't be a martini without an olive garnish--and what better way to pick the olive than with an acrylic pick that sports a mini martini glass with its own olive! The little plastic cocktail sits atop the pick, giving the stick both balance and aesthetic appeal. The pick is just the right length for stirring and rests neatly in the glass for all to see. And for those who don't care for olives, there's finally a perfect cover-up.
Misto Martini Vermouth Sprayer
Mixing an elegant, bone-dry martini is a snap with this stylish, nonaerosol vermouth sprayer. Just push the top with a manicured forefinger and mist the inside of a frosted glass or spray the top of your drink. The sprayer's glass vial holds 1 ounce of vermouth and refills easily with a tiny funnel (included). At just 3-1/2 inches high and less than 1 inch in diameter, the sprayer tucks into pocket or purse so it can accompany you to a cocktail lounge. There you can dazzle a bartender and get a conversation started by whipping out the satin-silver sprayer and adding your own benediction to icy gin. Sprayer, funnel, and drink recipes come in an elegant, charcoal-colored gift box.
