We have access to an elegant range of Martini glasses, champagne flutes, superb Sling glasses and plain old Highballs. You’re welcome to hire our glassware even if you’re not commissioning us to make cocktails for you.

Market Harborough cocktail glasses for hire

We can support large parties and you can even rent some cocktail glasses for say a dinner party for 12. We’ll deliver them for you too (there may be an additional charge – depending where you are.)

For more details about cocktail glass hire in South Leicestershire, contact us fun@cocktailshakerboys.co.uk . We’ll help if we can!

And we know you want to know what the drinks are featured in the picture on the left. We are a cocktail making tips site after all, so here goes. From left ;

- Jacaranda afternoon (in the Martini glass)

- Merry Berry Cherry (in the Highball) our top mocktail at the moment

- China Blue a non-alcoholic version of a popular classic the Blue Lagoon

- The Ottoman – a great alternative to the Kir Royale.

So get yourself some glasses, remember to book the sunshine, mix yourself some stunning drinks and be happy.

We have found that we can add these to Twitter easily, so if Twitter is your thing, have a look for recipes, tips, buying advice and all sorts of random information about cocktails by following us http://twitter.com/CocktlShkrBoys. We add pictures where we can on Tweetphoto too. http://tweetphoto.com/19015213 shows you these 2 new ones.

The Woo Woo appears to be a modern classic, but it doesn’t appear in any of our cocktail books, and the Sandbar is one we’ve developed specially for a client’s 50th party celebrations in Birmingham soon.

Recipes

Woo Woo   :    1  1/2 msrs vodka, 1  1/2 msrs peach schnapps, 3 measures cranberry juice. Shake with ice and pour.

The Sandbar   : 1  1/2 msrs Malibu, 1  1/2 msrs golden rum, 3 msrs pineapple juice. Again simply shake with ice, pour and enjoy.

The Sandbar has a real lazy Carribean feel to it. Remember “the sun always shines when it pours !” It’s summer so try some recipes and make yourself some delicious cocktails. You’ll be amazed how popular you become !

Let's make some new cocktails then

We’re planning on developing some fantastic new cocktails based around these unusual syrup flavours. They do something like 65 flavours and we’ve noticed a few coffee shops use them to make flavoured coffee.

We bought Ginger, Green Apple, Butterscotch, Lavender, more Green Apple, Cherry, Raspberry, Rose and Blue Curacao (non-alcoholic.)

We’re already using Monin Green Apple Syrup in the highly popular Green Apple Martini.

We use Rose in the in-house developed Belly Dancer, which has been compared to liquid Turkish Delight.

Stand by for some new cocktail recipes featuring these products, and we’ll post them on Twitter too. In the meantime we’re off to engage in a little liquid alchemy !

We love making cocktails, and if you’re here we guess you love drinking them.

Cocktails at your place - just imagine the fun!

We also welcome questions, suggestions and comments.  We continue to run a small scale marketing campaign in Harborough, so we hope you see our name about. We’ve been on Harborough FM with Moley discussing how to make stunning cocktails at home. We’re also hoping to be on one of the Leicester stations too soon talking about Christmas cocktails. There has also been a short write up in the Harborough Mail and a piece in the high quality WOW magazine.
