1. Do not order the all metal shakers- the lids are impossible to remove- this boston style shaker is what the pros use



2. I have never made a Martini and this product made me look like a pro, very easy to use. Sealed well and unsealed easily, with gentle rocking. No problems. Enjoy!

1. This is a great shaker. It completely seals, which is unusual for a shaker, they usually leak!!! This one has a rubber gasket that works well.

1. The recipient of this gift had nothing but good things to say about it. Not only did it amuse, but apparently the feet are very stable and the beak pours perfectly.



2. My friend collects penuin memoribilia. He had told me about this shaker, so when Xmas time rolled around, I knew just what to get him. He loves it.

1. First, this is a nice-quality Boston shaker.
   
   But... any bar supply place will sell you a similar-quality 28 oz Boston shaker top (the metal cup) for $10, often less... and pint glasses (with no annoying printing on them) are $1.95 at any Crate and Barrel. The combination works just as well as this thing, and looks exactly the same (again, minus the printing on the glass), for a lot less money. I don't understand where the markup comes from.



2. This shaker is crafted very well. I bartend, and use this in my home. the fitting of the glasses provides a good seal when mixing. Very effective set.



3. Wonderful shaker! I dont think the glass is thin at all, Im not about to go dropping it on my counter top though. Can have ice cubes in it no problems while shaking. The basic glass makes it easy to read!



4. A great Boston shaker, but I'm not sure what I had to spend $50 for a pint glass and a thin piece of stainless steel.



5. This shaker works just great, with a proper seal between the two halves. Unfortunately, the glass broke very easily on mine. I didn't drop it on the floor or anything, but merely knocked it over on the granite counter. It shattered. This is unacceptable.

1. Even if you're an amateur bar jockey you will impress your friends with this cool cocktail shaker. A great house warming gift for recent grads.



2. Ok...so this isnt a review,but a question I have on this product. Where is the instruction manual to this thing? What do the lines above the alcohol names mean. There are two, three, even four lines above some of the alcohol names. Does it mean the amount of alcohol that is supposed to be put into that particular drink. Please answer...for it has left many of us flustered. thank you very much



3. Despite this being a wedding gift from my brother, I've given up on it. It has become nearly impossible to open! Several people have spilled drinks trying to pry it open. I like it, but it simply doesn't work, and it makes you look like a fool when guests are waiting for their drinks.



4. I hate to be the voice of disappointment, because I had high hopes for this critter. But I'm a little disappointed.

   Out of the box, it was a little clumsy. The sheath with the holes cut in it fits pretty loosely, and is secured only near the base. That meant it wobbled a little in my hands when I was holding it, which was kinda annoying -- not criminally unpleasant, but irritating, and if I'd been using it all night, it might have led to spillage if you know what I mean.

   But then I used this thing twice, maybe three times, before the metal sheath with the holes cut in it pulled free of the shaker body. That was irritating -- it looks kinda goofy like that, and it's difficult to make any use of the recipes at this point.

   The capacity is great -- it's perfect for a bunch of guests. And the look is pretty good, even without the sheath, if you're not close enough to notice the writing. I continue to use it, but it doesn't sit on my countertop longer than it takes to get washed, and it's now a "behind the bar" toy.

   At 4.5 stars, I expected much better.




5. I might be repeating some of the other reviewers' thoughts about this extremely hip shaker, but I really like this thing!

   We don't use the dial-a-drink feature of the shaker, but everyone who visits us just loves to play around with it. The dial feature is a bit hard to read if the light is hitting the shaker directly, but it looks so cool that you won't even care. It holds a lot of liquid, so making big drinks is a snap.

   I agree with the reviewer who commented that the top is hard to remove--that's entirely true. Granted, you wouldn't want the top to be loose enough to sling booze all over the place, but you also don't want to have to be The Hulk to get it open. A friend of mine has had his for a while now, and it's very hard to open it--might have something to do with the age.

   On a funny side note, it makes the best chocolate milk! Pour in your milk, add you favorite choco powder, and shake. The strainer top keeps distributing the powder around, so those clumps of unmixed powder will be a thing of the past--no need for a noisy blender. While I haven't yet used it to make smoothies, a friend of mine who owns one has said that this shaker does that quite well also... (we'll have to test that one out).

   This makes an great gift and conversation piece!
