Happy Weekend.

{Unknown}

Have you been having an amazing first week of fall? I have. Here in Oklahoma we’re experiencing a lot of below average temperatures and I’m soaking up every moment! Not only did I break out the Halloween decorations (fine, that was last week), but some long sleeves, too. Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy this week’s Mad Props!

Chikotan Charcoal Stirs.

These Chikotan Charcoal Stirs are interesting. I wonder what exactly there is to purify in a cocktail though…

Think of Chikotan as the ultimate swizzle stick. This high quality Japanese Bamboo charcoal stirrer is perfect for stirring and purifying drinks and cocktails. 3 piece set.

Glass Sake Bottle.

I’m not a big sake drinker, but I am big on well-designed barware. And this glass sake bottle would also be the perfect vessel for chilled wines and cocktails. Add ice into the side compartment for instant chill without watering down your beverage!
