Black Pro Cocktail Shaker Set by WinterCastle-The 18 Piece Ultimate Bartender Kit: Boston Shaker, Jigger, Muddler, Bar Spoon, 3 Strainers, 4 Pourers with Caps, Tongs, Bamboo Stand, Free Recipe EBook

I got it for my son.He loves it!

So far we love how this has held up. I usually only use the tins, the strainer, the spoon and muddler. Many complain that the brass scratches or chips off on the brass tins. Well folks, any brass tin will do that unless you pay a lot of money and those won't look great forever. I use the tins 4-7 nights a week to make a drink at home. So far my tins only show small scratches where they seal - hardly noticeable.

Good set for novices to mixology. Minimal foot print that doesn't take up much space on a counter top. The inclusion of all three strainer types is nice.The one detriment I've found, and this is pretty minor, is that the cuts in the stand to hold the strainer handles nice and upright, are a bit too wide so the strainers like to lean to one side or the other. It's nit picky, I know, but I don't like things to look sloppy if I can help it.I did my shopping around and this really is the best kit a…t the best price point I could find without moving into Professional Territory.

As a full time bartender at a cocktail bar this is a better set than I use at work. Shaker is sturdy and seals well. Strainer is fine and spring is soft and easy to clean. Bar spoon is weighted and easy to spin. Jigger is accurate and holds up to flames so far. Wonderful set for the money.

The set is great and high quality but the wooden stand had fallen apart when I received it, I glued it back together and it’s been fine.

Really surprised by the quality. Holding up well after several months.

This set has everything you need to make great drinks. Love the gold color. Looks so good on my bar.

Personal use

I don't have a lot of space to waste and when I was looking at sets for mixology, I knew there were many tools I had a decent substitute for. I found this set and was instantly pleased with what I had available to me. The jigger is easy to read and fill with good clear lines denoting the increments, the strainers are exactly what I needed to have what would be useful without excess, they are easy to clean. The shaker is great, have yet to have it fail on me as I shake, and I don't suspect I wil…l have that problem ever.The surprise hero of the set is the bar spoon, the design is great and it has held up to many ice cubes broken with it.My only note is that it is plated on the outside, not solid, so you need to make sure not to drop anything onto a surface that will chip at it, however normal use has kept it in good shape.

Excellent set! Much better than the William Sonoma set I replaced it with.
