Houdini Boston Cocktail Shaker, 24 Ounce, Stainless Steel/Glass

I do like it. Used to using the one with the strainer in it. So, this is difficult to get used to BUT that is strictly user issue. I love and hate that it has a glass side. Some are both metal. I just get nervous, again user issue, tapping the glass. Others I know have both metal, and they don't have to worry about glass breaking when separating them. I will say the glass is sturdy, and I am probably just inexperienced. For someone who has used this type of shaker, it is high quality. …For a newbie, maybe get both side stainless first.The drinks get super duper shaken. Nice job on the mixing. Sometimes a great froth with the finished product. It also, vanity alert, looks cool, as you mix, and you can see the drink mixing in the glass side.Don't regret the purchase. Just need to practice to be more comfortable.

It is much nicer than expected. Heavy glass and helpful measurements

My favorite local bar uses a shaker like this to mix cocktails so I thought I'd give this a try. It works very well and fits the US Pint bar glass (one is included in the kit; it's the same size as the usual beer or iced cocktail glasses at our local bars).The metal shaker that my bartender uses is a plain conical shape and I watched her slide the shaker and glass together and noted that that seemed to fit well. The Houdini shaker has a slightly curved "waisted" shape and I wasn't sure that i…t would fit as sell as the simple cone shape but - having used it - it seems to work very well indeed.Others have reviewed that it's difficult to separate the shaker from the glass - I found that if you shake your drink, hold the bottom of the glass with one hand and the narrow end of the shaker with the other hand (with the glass and shaker upright) and push the open edge of the shaker sideways - such as on the edge of a bar - it pops right off easily with very little leaking or dribbling. It's sort of one of those "try it a time or two to get the feel of it" things but it's easy, especially after you've done it a time or two.

I didn't buy this for cocktails. It's perfect for a coffee pour over when camping or traveling. Turn the lid upside down, add a filter and you have a pour over coffee maker!

No more struggling to open the top to strain your cocktail. No more mess. No more freezing cold hands. Wish this design existed back in the day when I was bartending.

Easy to get the top off & is very easy to clean

Great product for the bar

This cocktail shaker is the realDeal and best I've owned. The metal ones always stick and sweat but this glass one is perfect. Never any issues.

Love it

Makes great cosmos! The writing on the shaker is fading I blame the dishwasher. I would not recommend putting the shaker in the dishwasher.
