Know before you buy
The set includes a Boston shaker, a Japanese-style double-sided jigger, a bar spoon, a natural beech hardwood muddler, six cocktail picks, and three types of strainers: Hawthorne, Julep, and fine mesh.
Stainless Steel 304 is a food-grade material highly resistant to rust and corrosion. It is the industry standard for professional bar tools because it won't impart a metallic taste to your drinks and holds up well against acidic ingredients like citrus.
To prevent the wood from drying out or cracking, hand wash the muddler with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately. It is not dishwasher safe and should be periodically treated with food-safe mineral oil to maintain its finish.
While the stainless steel components are generally dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing all pieces to preserve the polished finish and prevent potential damage to the reinforced welds over time. The hardwood muddler must always be hand washed.
Yes, the Boston shaker is designed for durability and balance. Its reinforced construction ensures it can handle the vigorous shaking required for professional-grade cocktails without compromising the seal.
Each strainer serves a specific purpose: the Hawthorne strainer is for general shaking, the Julep strainer is ideal for stirred drinks, and the fine mesh strainer is used for a 'double strain' to catch small ice chips or fruit pulp for a smoother cocktail texture.
