I'd look on eBay or some other such used stuff site and pick up something old and retro.
Cocktails, the libationary art!
A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.
If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.
Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.
Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:
Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.
A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.
On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.

Gorgeous looking gear
Can't recommend a specific brand, but I got my shaker from a restaurant supply store. It really shouldn't need to cost much to work well.
I'm using this one: https://vacuvin.com/products/cocktail-shaker-tin-on-tin-boston-stainless-steel
I'm happy with it, but I haven't tried any other one so it's hard to compare! I had it for 2 years, and it still seals well at least.
I'd recommend cocktail kingdom, either their Leopold or Koriko shakers.
I think theyre an American company, but they do ship to Europe.
The koriko is the one I was looking at, but shipping to Europe costs three times the cost of the product. I'm not made of money, unfortunately 😕
