Description

Are you on the hunt for the ultimate cocktail shaker? If so, halt that search! I’ve got just the ticket for you, and lemme tell ya, it’s a game-changer. 🍸

Introducing the Boston shaker that didn’t just join the party; it started it. This bad boy paved the way for A Bar Above’s barware brand back in 2016. And if you’re a bit of a review junkie (like me!), you’d be stoked to know it’s backed by a whopping 3,200+ reviews and a shiny 5-star rating on Amazon. That’s no easy feat, my friend!

What makes it so epic, you ask? For starters, it’s got that perfect water-tight seal, which means saying goodbye to accidental spillages. But it’s not just about being leak-proof; this beauty is also a breeze to open, and its weight? Just a chef’s kiss.

The material? Only the best for our mixologists! Crafted with high-quality, food-grade stainless steel 304, you won’t see any annoying rust spots after a whirl in the dishwasher. And speaking of staying power, have you ever noticed how some shaker weights just… fall off? Not this one. Our factory’s gone all out and circle-welded it right around the base. No shortcuts here!

Love a bit of mix and match? You’re in luck. All our cocktail shaker cups are like best buddies—they nest perfectly for storage and seal even better during a shake-down.

Seals tight, open right: That’s our motto. We’ve designed it so your cocktails get the shake they deserve without any messy surprises.

Doubt its resilience? We’ve seen one of these soldiers handle over 10,000 drinks. So, whether you’re a professional bartender or just mixing up some fun at home, this is set to be your lifelong dance partner.

Diving into the details:

  • Materials & Construction: Nothing but durable stainless steel 304, shining bright with a polished mirror finish.
  • Dimensions: Big Brother cup holds 28 oz / 825ml, while the little one’s got 18 oz / 525ml. And it comes in a gift box measuring 7.7″ L x 4″ W x 4″ H, weighing in at a neat 1 lb.

Taking care of it? Easy peasy:

  • Stainless Steel: Whack it in any home or commercial dishwasher.
  • Gold, Antique Copper, and Black: Mostly dishwasher-friendly. But for the Copper one? Best to give it a gentle hand wash.

A little pro tip for ya: If it ever needs a quick shine, grab a bar rag, spritz some vodka, and give it a polish. (That’s a little behind-the-scenes secret from our bar to yours! )

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Cocktail Hammer is a mixology-centric website that provides an extensive array of resources for home bartenders, professional mixologists, and cocktail enthusiasts. Here are some responses to the most frequently asked queries to help enhance your cocktail crafting skills.

To start home bartending, you'll need a few key tools. A cocktail shaker is essential for mixing drinks, and a jigger will help you measure the ingredients accurately.

A bar spoon is useful for stirring and layering drinks, while a strainer ensures a smooth, sediment-free cocktail.

A muddler is important for crushing herbs or fruit, and a citrus peeler or zester is useful for adding garnishes. Finally, you may want a good-quality knife and chopping board for preparing ingredients.

There are a few key techniques that are critical for home bartending. Shaking is a common technique used to mix, chill and dilute drinks quickly. Stirring is used when you want to maintain the clarity of the drink while still mixing the ingredients. Muddling is used to extract flavors from fresh ingredients like herbs or fruit.

Layering is another technique that involves carefully adding different liquors or mixers so that they sit in separate layers. Finally, garnishing not only makes your cocktail visually appealing but can also enhance its flavor.

Proper storage and maintenance of your liquors and mixers can extend their shelf life and preserve their quality. Unopened bottles of spirits are stable and can be stored for many years. Once opened, they should ideally be consumed within 1-2 years.

Store spirits in a cool, dark place, upright, to prevent the alcohol from breaking down the cork. Liqueurs should be stored similarly, but keep in mind they have a shorter shelf life due to their sugar content. Vermouth and other wine-based aperitifs should be refrigerated after opening and consumed within 1-2 weeks.

Mixers, too, should be refrigerated after opening and used within the recommended timeframe on the label. Fresh ingredients like lemons, limes, and herbs should be bought regularly to ensure they are always fresh when used in your drinks.
