Bull in China’s Weighted Cocktail Shakers
As much as I love those Koriko shaking tins I wrote about a few years ago, I understand that the plain stainless steel look isn't for everyone. Maybe your home bar setup has a certain style you're going for, and you need a set of shakers to better mesh with that.
That's where these cocktail shakers from Bull in China come in. They're similarly weighted to add that extra bit of stability during mixing, but they come in a range of finishes to suit any bar style/decor. And, the company has opted for exteriors that are either brushed or matte to reduce fingerprints and smudges, with a byproduct of being easier to grip even with wet hands.
Each set comes with a 28oz shaker cup and an 18oz “cheater” tin and can yours for $23–$34 on Amazon in your choice of Antique Brass, Matte White, Gold Plated, Gunmetal Black, or Rainbow Chrome finishes, or in plain Stainless Steel if you still prefer that.
A few other finishes can be had from the company's own website, such as Matte Black, Solid Copper, and Frosted Teal.
(Availability in both places fluctuates, I've found. The offerings linked here are current as of July 6th, 2024.)
