This set features a professional-grade Boston shaker, which consists of a 28 oz tin and an 18 oz tin. This two-piece design is the standard choice for most bartenders due to its efficiency and ease of use.
The mixing glass is crafted from high-quality, lead-free crystal, providing a weighted, elegant feel that is ideal for stirring classic cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Negroni.
The Lewis ice bag and mallet are used to create crushed ice. By wrapping ice cubes in the canvas bag and striking them with the wooden mallet, you can easily produce the specific texture of ice required for tiki drinks, juleps, and other crushed-ice cocktails.
