Alessi The Tending Box GIA26 Parisienne Cocktail Shaker
Best high end shaker for design conscious home mixologists.
This shaker turns the act of mixing drinks into a sculptural performance. Its sinuous, high-polish form is undeniably beautiful, but the real genius is the top knob, which offers a secure, ergonomic grip that standard tins simply lack. It is a rare piece where striking design actually improves your technique.
