Rating: - A good martini shaker.
After searching through all the reviews, and having purchased some other products from Pinzon, I decided to give this one a try. It does everything a shaker needs to do. There are no leaks when you shake a cocktail. The built in strainer works well. The recipe portion of the shaker is a neat gimmick, but I am not sure you would ever use it. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.
Rating: - Great for Cosmos!
How did I ever make two cosmos at a time before this arrived? Great item! Washes like a dream and will last forever.
Rating: - Stainless steel that rusts???
Stainless steel that rusts, that's all I need to say.
Got it thinking it'd be alright for the cheap price, but it's horrible.
The strainer clogs up, the stainless is so cheap it rusts (and I wash and dry immediately after use), the stainless is thin and can nearly cut you (think sheet metal with jagged ends), the etched recipes were half gone, the cylindricity of the shaker is poor (more oval than round), and several surface features existed upon receipt (smudges that don't clean up).
Rating: - Great additional gift
This item went very well with the bar tool set I bought as a gift for a couple starting out. I loved the idea of the drink recipe engraved right on the shaker, makes things simple!! The item was high quality, and made a wonderful gift.
