Good grips? More like good times.
I guess they named it that because it is rubber and super easy to use. One of my "hipster" friends saw me using it and was like, "You should really use an all metal shaker." And I was like, "Why, because The Arcade Fire made a song called 'Metal Shaker'"? It was a sick burn and he never really recovered from it. I saw him on his phone for about 30-45 mins afterward and then he came up to me an tried to act like he recalled from memory something about heat conduction, but I know he probably just read it from his phone. I called him my friend earlier, but really he's one of my wife's friend's boyfriends who gets dragged along to social events. I don't think he even likes being there. If he'd have come at me like, "Hey. I see you're using a rubberized shaker, let's talk more about that it s constructive way.," I probably wouldn't have hit him with such a sick burn. I decided to resolve it by making two drinks and having him do a blind taste test. Guess what, though? I totally pulled a the movie "The Princess's Bride" on him and made both drinks in the same shaker (this one). He couldn't let it go so he kept on telling me how much colder drink A was and how he could taste the individual notes of the spirits more clearly. Then I kind of started to feel bad for him because if this is his whole gimmick, feeling superior to people by hitting them with "factchecks" from The Arcade Fire, I didn't want to make him feel any worse about himself. So I just lied and said he guessed right.
