Description
This is a glass cocktail shaker with a raised basketweave pattern across its clear body and a shiny stainless steel top finished with a small cap. It stands 19.5cm tall and 8.5cm across and holds 385ml, which makes it a compact shaker for mixing at home rather than a big tin for a busy bar. The glass is the point of it: you can watch the drink come together as you shake, and glass does not hold on to the flavours or smells of whatever was mixed in it last.
We would put it on a bar cart, a drinks trolley or a sideboard in the living or dining room, where the patterned glass catches the light between uses. Bring it out for evening cocktails, a party or a quiet drink at the weekend, and use it for a martini, a daiquiri or an alcohol-free sour. At 0.47KG it sits comfortably in the hand while you shake, and at 8.5cm across it is slim enough to grip firmly with one hand on the body and the other over the cap. It suits anyone putting together a home bar, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a friend who likes to mix a drink properly.
The body is glass and the top is stainless steel, a hard-wearing metal that wipes clean. The maker states that it does not go in the microwave or the oven, so keep it for cold mixing with ice, which is what a shaker is made for. For styling, stand it on a mirrored tray beside a few coupes, a jigger and a bowl of lemons, so the raised pattern and the shiny top pick up the light together. Between parties it sits just as happily on an open kitchen shelf, ready for the next round.

Frequently Asked
What is the cocktail shaker made of?
The body is glass with a raised basketweave pattern, and the top is stainless steel, so you can see your drink through the glass while you shake.
How much does it hold?
It holds 385ml, which makes it a compact shaker for mixing at home rather than a large professional bar tin.
How big and heavy is it?
It is 19.5cm tall and 8.5cm across and weighs 0.47KG, so it is slim and light to hold while you shake.
Can it go in the microwave or the oven?
No. The maker states it is not for the microwave or the oven; it is made for mixing drinks over ice.
Does it come with the glasses and the drinks trolley?
No. You receive the cocktail shaker; the styling props shown are not included, so the glasses, bottles and trolley are not part of the order.
