Three long years ago, my cracka Crunk B introduced me to “The Penguin.” About the same time, I ran across an article in GQ regarding the construction of a proper Martini. Hint: Vodka and Sour Apple Pucker are NOT ingredients. That night, I ordered “The Penguin,” a cocktail shaker that would change my life. After experimentation with various recipes, “The Penguin” made me realize two excellent things come from fucking France - Calvados and Cointreau.

As “The Penguin” is tip top for mixing Martinis and other glorious concoctions, I used it often. A year ago, “The Penguin” began to leak and is no longer the go to shaker. However, “The Penguin” still looks fresh decorating my swank bachelor pad. Happy third birthday, old friend.
