Cocktail parties are one of those extremely Instagrammable events I always want to host but never get around to organizing. (Who wants booze sloshed all over their rug, am I right?) But the sipping and swirling appeals to me nonetheless, especially as summer approaches. Admittedly, I have a lofty vision of my friends in sundresses and crisp white button-ups, delicately stirring old fashioneds and gin martinis.

In reality, a spirited shindig with 20-somethings is actually all about efficiency, which means half-decent drinks made very quickly with about zero effort. But it doesn't hurt if things get a bit showy, too. Enter the Metrokane electric cocktail mixer ($20) that quite literally whips up drinks in seconds by whirling them into a liquid tornado. It's a little weird, a little fun, and a lot of laziness: Just add ice, booze, and mixers, then touch a button and watch the swirly show. Drinks will be ready in about 15 seconds. It's a gadget made for both the thirstiest and laziest of libation lovers.
