Cocktail Emporium Bar Set

Yes, to maintain the luster and prevent scratching, we recommend hand-washing these tools with a soft sponge and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or putting them in the dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the gold plating over time.

The two-piece Boston shaker is designed for a secure seal, which is essential for leak-free mixing. To separate it, simply give the side of the shaker a firm tap with the heel of your hand at the point where the two tins meet to break the vacuum seal.

The Hawthorne strainer included in this set features a tighter spring coil than standard models, which is highly effective at catching ice shards and fruit pulp. While double-straining is still a personal preference for some, this strainer is designed to produce a clean enough pour to skip that extra step for most cocktails.

The interior markings allow you to measure various volumes—specifically 1 oz and 2 oz increments—without needing to switch tools or guess measurements. This precision is key for maintaining the balance of your cocktail recipes, especially when scaling drinks up or down.

No, this set does not include a stand. The tools are designed to be stored in a drawer or a bar roll, which helps protect the gold-plated finish from accidental scratches or tarnishing that can occur when left out on a countertop.
