It’s that wonderful time of the year… family, friends, parties, and LOTS to drink… Well fortunately for you, this year you can drink and entertain in style and worry about the hangover later. First, I think it’s important to tell you all that I’m the kinda girl who more than drinking, likes to serve and mix… So I’m always on the lookout for pretty glasses or gadgets to make mixing drinks more fun.

And so, I present to you my top 5 favorite bar accessories and gadgets:

1. Bongos Professional Bar Tender. It’s the hottest little bar around… Comes with 11 bottle holders and an ice maker. It’s a little pricey, but well worth it.
2. Target Red Martini Glasses. Sooo chic! These are the kind of glasses that separate the sophisticated drink from the typical booze.
3. Metrokane Mini Bar Juicer. This is definitely on my list for Santa, but at such a great price, I might just buy it for myself!
4. Metrokane Wine Accessories Set. This makes a fantastic gift for the wine connoisseur or for anyone who hates fumbling with crappy corkscrews.
5. Metrokane Bullet Cocktail Shaker. This is THE sexiest cocktail shaker I have ever seen! I mean come on! Just look at it!

Umm in case you didn’t notice, I LOVE METROKANE! These guys are fantastic! Also, here are some other fantastic people who can help you out in the drink department: DrinkStreet.com is an awsome place to find and share drink recipes.

So whether you’re planning to have a party or just a romantic night in front of the fire, make sure you’re prepared. Drink up, have a good time, and whatever you do, don’t drink and dial. Salud!
