Know before you buy
This is a Cobbler-style shaker. It features a built-in strainer and a cap, making it an all-in-one tool that doesn't require a separate Hawthorne strainer.
While the 18/8 stainless steel is durable, we recommend hand washing this shaker to preserve the black mirror exterior finish and prevent potential scratching or fading over time.

Yes, the polished black mirror finish is prone to showing fingerprints and water spots. A quick wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use will keep it looking pristine.
Yes, the shaker is designed with a secure capped bottom to ensure a reliable, leak-proof seal. It is engineered for professional use, so it can handle high-intensity shaking without coming apart.
