If you’re a huge mixology enthusiast, chances are that the cocktail shaker is one of your favorite kitchen tools, but did you know cocktails aren’t the only thing you can make inside it? One of the best things about cocktail shakers is their incredible versatility, and here are the three best ways to use yours that have nothing to do with cocktails.
Cold Coffee Drinks
Cocktail shakers can be used to take all sorts of coffee drinks to the next level including iced coffee, espresso, and latte. All you have to do is add cooled coffee, your favorite cream and sweetener, and some ice inside, and shake it like there’s no tomorrow to get the iced coffee of your dreams.
Lemonade
Cocktail shakers can also do wonders for your lemonade. There’s nothing quite like a fresh glass of cold lemonade, and you can make it by mixing up some lemon juice, ice, and water inside your shaker. Extra points if you add some fresh mint and barriers to the mix to make your lemonade truly pop.
Iced Tea
Many drinks that involve ice can taste even better when made inside a cocktail shaker, especially ice tea. After your freshly brewed tea cools down, mix it up with some ice and fresh herbs, and you’ll be amazed by how delicious your iced tea tastes.
