Cocktail Kingdom Koriko® Weighted Shaking Tin (Small)

Great Boston shaker set. Seals well and mixes awesome cocktails. Easy to clean. Will probably last a lifetime. Very cool. Recommend.

Easy to use. Seals tight. Easy to shake with one hand or two. Easy to separate with a gentle squeeze of the larger cup. Do not use the large cup with glass mixing tumblers however because it will be near impossible to separate. I would also add that when dry shaking egg whites it can come apart so hold it firmly.

Best shaker perfect seal and relatively easy release don’t need to bang a counter top! A bit more expensive however the last Boston shaker you need! Best for real bartenders that need reliable tools!

Love the quality of this tin. The weighted base is welded to the bottom of the cup. just the right amount of flex to the top of the tin to allow it to mate with it's sister Large Weighted tin. No leaks, no runs, no spills. A solid smack releases the tin.

I've gotten two sets these are the best shakers I've ever used. Highly recommend.

I also have the small tin that pairs with this. I’ve been a professional bartender and bar manager for over 15 years. I have worked countless bars from dives, casual and fine dining and craft cocktail bars. I’ve used every brand of tins there is. Koriko is THE standard. Perfect weight. Stays put on the bar, but feels light in the hand. Great seal but flexible enough to break very easily. Absolutely perfect. 10/10.

Honestly I just bought this (and it's smaller mate) for fun. Did I need another cocktail shaker? Not really. I've got several. But what I didn't have was a set of classic tins with weighted bottoms. These are just gorgeous and a pleasure to use. There are other shaker formats that are more beginner friendly (the Elevated Craft shaker is really excellent) but my expectations were fully met. The Koriko shakers look great and work great and impress the patrons at my home bar. Do you really need these? Nope, the budget set up of a tin paired with a pint glass is just as practical. But if you want a bit of flash and have the cash, go for it.

I ordered this tin and the smaller tin together. After washing them and leaving to dry for the day, I noticed the large one had spots of rust inside already... I figured it was a fluke, so scrubbed it out and made a drink with it. I again cleaned it and left it to dry. Next morning, I noticed new rust spots had formed. What the heck?? I have nice kitchen knives that are more tolerant to some water. Meanwhile, my smaller tin had no rusting issues whatsoever. At this point I requested a replacement from Amazon, suspecting a defective item. I know, silly -- a defective stainless-steel cup. Sure enough, it's been several weeks and several drinks, and not a spot of rust in either tin. Given the positive recommendations this set has gotten and the some of the other reviews having issues with rust, I have a suspicion some of these tins were made with a bad batch of steel or something. I think they're otherwise good tins, but you should consider that you may need to get a replacement if yours is one that rusts.
