Alessi 17-Ounce Cocktail Shaker, Satin Finish



Great Quality
Nice quality product that seals very well; no leaks at all. Fit and finish were worth the extra money. Plus, it's not made in China!!

Amazing cocktail shaker at a high price
This cocktail shaker is gorgeous and really works well. I have tried many shakers and usually they have an issue with the fit of the lid and things leaking out. This shaker is beautifully constructed and looks great my bar on display. It feels really nice in your hand and making cocktails is even more fun with it. That being said, you really don't need a $100 cocktail shaker and it doesn't do anything particularly special for being so expensive.

CAN'T WIN THEM ALL . . .
I looked for a "Deco" style shaker for some time. I was discouraged by the high number of reviews complaining about poor fitting lids and leakage. I encountered this unit, with its perfect score, and purchased it despite its pricey nature. What I got was a straining collar and cap that were so loose that they would fall away from the container when turned upside down. I conducted a shake test, holding all the parts tightly together, and it still leaked. I expected better for 133 bucks. I guess I got the one the inspectors missed. I gave it a two star raing ONLY because it's an attractive unit that promotes good "bar appeal." I returned the unit and will say, like many others have, that Amazon is just the best for returning merchandise.
