Eight-Piece Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker Set with Jigger and Strainer

Everything needed to build a drink properly, all of it in stainless steel: a shaker that seals well and does not freeze shut on ice, a measuring cup, a strainer, a long mixing spoon, ice tongs, a bottle opener and two pour spouts.

Eight pieces in all. Steel is the right material here because it chills fast, takes knocks on a hard counter, and carries no flavour from one drink into the next. The weight is closer to what a working bar uses than to a novelty kit, which shows most in the shaker and the strainer.

At home on a bar cart, behind a counter, or in the hands of somebody who has just decided to learn.
