 classy and useful
Beautiful retro looking shaker. Perfect for appletinis, martinis, margaritas on the rocks, cosmos, you name it! The stainless steel will impress your friends and I could swear that it makes your cocktail taste that much "fancier"!

Hey baby, shake that thing! (Oooof ; a very poor joke.)
I like my Martinis, Manhattans, etc, cold--I keep it in the freezer and when called to duty it performs at a 100 percent level. I do not know what more I could ask of it. (Well engineered--the three parts fit together perfectly and it looks good too.)

I love it.
It's just the right size, seems a little more substantial than other stainless steel shakers I've held, and I haven't had any of the hard-to-open-once-you've-made-a-cocktail problems.

Elegant
Beautiful shaker. Nice addition to any bar. The high gloss finish looks classy and is easy to take care of.

Cheap and good, looks great
No need to spend a lot on a shaker; this one is stylish and beautifully functional.
Good points:
Large enough for 2 double martinis
Has a strainer
Great looking lines
Bad Points:
As in all metal-on-metal shakers where the temperature changes rapidly, the lid WILL tend to stick. This is physics; the metal contracts when you chill the drinks. Still, it could have a better grippy surface to grab onto so you can remove it.
My recipe for a Cosmopolitan
2 oz Swedish citron vodka
1 oz Triple Sec or Cointreau
1/2 juiced lime
1 oz best quality cranberry juice
1 lemon zest for garnish
Pour ingredients into iced shaker, strain, garnish with the lemon zest.
