For the Lazy, Do-Nothing Alcoholic on Your List

martini_shaker.jpg

This is the device that shakes or stirs a martini until it reaches the optimal drinking temperature of 34° F, ensuring perfect homemade martinis at the touch of a button. The stainless steel shaker moves up and down vigorously during the shake cycle and gently rotates in stir mode, melding the ingredients during either cycle for 60 seconds.

Awesome. Does it come with bendy straws?

Only $100 from Hammacher Schlemmer. Via Gear Live.

does it come with a martini vermouth spritzer? because you know, the perfect martini has just a hint - a "spritz", if you will - of vermouth. god, i love sky mall.

Now if I could only find a machine that will skewer a cocktail olive with the martini pick, so that I don't have to!

Well it sounds like it could also be used as a sex toy-
"at the touch of a button. The stainless steel shaker moves up and down vigorously... and gently rotates in stir mode... for 60 seconds."

Sixty seconds?!!

Oh Snap!

Ideally, it should piss the martini right out into the toilet and flush for you, so you don't get the hangover or have to bother ingesting anything.

Kind of like how Tivo watches TV for us now and records over it as it goes, eliminating all that time we used to waste watching all that junk.

The perfect martini has a lot more than a spritz of vermouth. Unless you use vodka, in which case you're drinking something else, I don't know what.

Is it big enough to fit a small kitten inside?
