Don’t forget the olives

Shaken or stirred?
Whichever is preferred by host or guest, it’s attainable at the push of a button with the Waring Pro Electric Martini Shaker/Stirrer. It comes with a 20-ounce stainless steel shaker and 1-ounce measuring cap — although you’re on your own for the vermouth eye-dropper — and is $99.95 at Sur La Table at the Miracle Mile Shops, 3663 Las Vegas Blvd. South, or online at www.surlatable.com.
