    The Perfect Cocktail Container

    Posted February 26, 2009 by maureen
    Found in: Barware, Entertaining

    I went to the Las Vegas Market recently & for some reason I got drawn to these liquid containers. Maybe because they were filled with tequila or vodka infused with orange and pineapple slices :). The cocktail was my escape from a stressful & tiring week. But back to these containers….

    Birmingham Samovar from GoHome Ltd

    Forgive me for being clueless, I found out they are called a samovar. A samovar is an urn with a spigot or faucet used to boil water for tea. What one showroom did was place them in a round table & each samovar contained a different cocktail. They looked extremely charming & inviting as you can see all the fruit slices floating giving it so much color, perfect for parties or wedding receptions even.

    They can get pretty pricey, almost $300 at retail but I think their look is timeless at any event.

    Well, you need a perfect cocktail recipe for that samovar. Here’s one for you. Enjoy!
