Mixologist

Cocktail Shaker With Free Double Jigger and Famous Cocktails eBook

This is a must-have item for the summer. I love having a couple drinks and BBQ by the pool, at least a few times a month with friends and family. It's fun to catch up with people while having some good food and drinks at home. Cosmopolitan, Apple Martinis and other mixed drinks are some of favorites to make while entertaining. This set includes a 24 ounce stainless steel classic cocktail mixer, built in strainer, cap, 1 1/2 ounce jigger and eBook. There are many recipes for famous cocktails, so you can impress your friends with your mixologist skills. The jigger makes it easy for beginners, to measure out different ingredients. The strainer allows you to shake up the cocktail with ice, mint, lemon or other fresh ingredients. And then pour the cold freshly flavored drink into the glass without chunks of ice, fruit etc. The cap stays on nice and tight, so no worries about making a mess while you shake. This is a durable high quality set. It is very easy to clean by hand, but it is dishwasher safe (top shelf). It is essential for making cocktails. I will be getting a lot of use out of this product and definitely recommend it. It is so much cheaper and safer to drink at home.
