This elegant mini-shaker holds just the right amount for a nightcap. We suggest adding Stirrings's preservative-free mixers and fancy sugar garnishes to your liquor of choice. They're delish, and can make up to ten drinks a bottle. (Crate & Barrel Mini Cocktail Shaker, $10, crateand barrel.com; mixers and garnishes, $10 and $5, Whole Foods stores or stirrings.com)

"The shaker is perfect for one drink, and it's easy to clean. And the mixers are tasty."
