The Bull in China Brass Cocktail Shaker epitomizes class, elegance, and craftsmanship. Most brass cocktail shaker are plated brass that eventually leads to chipping or the paint wearing off. The brass cocktail shaker is a perfect complement to any Mid Century barware collection.

How to Make a Manhattan

The apocryphal story goes that during the mid 1870s at the Manhattan club in New York City. Jennie Jermone, Winston Churchill's mother and now known as Lady Randolph Churchill, threw a large party in honor of presidential candidate Samuel Tilden. Ian Marshall concocted this special drink and the cocktail became a smash hit. The cocktail took the name of the establishment where it was created, hence The Manhattan Cocktail.
