It is a very good set for using at home. But the cover lid is stuck. I’m not even sure if it can be opened. I can’t open it, anyway. And its edges are very sharp and cut my fingers. Please be careful when using it.
It’s cheap and it does the job.
Amaozon asks if it is “Giftable” – what does that mean?
If you are thinking of setting up a cocktail bar this probably isn’t for you.
But the star of the show is without doubt the brand name – best described as a random collection of letters – you can have hours of fun trying to pronounce it – and the more badly made cocktails you consume the easier it gets!
Great cocktail set I’m not sure I needed all the bits with it, but it was such good value and made more sense. Maybe one day I’ll use the other bits that come with it, who knows
The shaker has a tight fitting cap and head pourer / strainer too, but there were two minor issues for me which makes this set more for home use rather than as an additional piece of kit on a UK retail bar
Firstly, neither side of the jigger is CE marked so cannot be used under UK Weights and Measures legislation, plus the measures are 15ml and 30ml – whereas in the UK we ‘tend’ to use 25ml (single) and 50ml (double) measures. Cocktail measures do differ, but for speed and ease of use, our recipes stick to the day-to-day jiggers available on the bar (25ml / 50ml) – Don’t get me wrong, the jigger measures of 15ml / 30ml are clearly stated in the product description, I’m just pointing out they’re non-standard for most UK pours / recipes.
My second minor niggle is the fairly large gap between the head pourer cover and the built-in strainer in the cap. Liquid gathers in this area during a good shake resulting in the obvious spillage when removing the cap and decanting. Fine for home use, but just more time consuming mess to clear up for the barman between orders (bad news on a busy Friday or Saturday night service)
That said, for the price – the good construction plus inclusion of an awesome muddler / twisted stirrer and the Hawthorne strainer means I would definitely buy this item again!!
Would be good if the parts fit together a bit better as you really have to hold it together, but the bits it comes with are good and I’ve made some fantastic cocktails already
