Just about anything you could need at a great value
While browsing the other bartending kits available, I noticed that none of them seemed to be complete as this one: some forgo a muddler, others leave out a bar spoon (or else have spoons either without a functional end, or those awful uncoiled spoons that are unwieldy to handle). Some of them, bafflingly, only have one jigger, which can leave a lot of conversions or guesswork if a cocktail calls for a measurement your jigger doesn't have.This set has just about anything anyone could want for a home bar. The shaker is solidly made and I have not had any issues with it leaking. Its large capacity and wide opening make cleaning it easy - I have had issues with other shakers, particularly store-bought, being difficult to clean due to their size (and I don't even have big hands). The two jiggers will serve just about any measurement you come across in a cocktail recipe. The muddler has a textured toothed silicone head that nicely juices fruit and muddles berries. I like the low profile design of both the corkscrew and the bottle opener. The picks are a nice touch for those looking to add some panache to their presentation. The stirring spoon is nicely balanced, easy to control, and as a bonus, its flat disk end can double as an herb muddler.About the only thing missing is a fine strainer - the provided Hawthorne strainer and built-in martini strainer in the shaker top will do their job at keeping out muddled fruit wedges, berries, or ice, but pulp from lemon or orange as well as small seeds can still sneak through. For those like me who like to experiment with blended fruit drinks and don't want kiwi or strawberry seeds ending up in their teeth, a fine mesh strainer will complete this bar kit nicely (I use RSVP Endurance Conical Strainer, 3").Overall I am very satisfied with this kit. High quality and good utility. Perfect for a home bar, and the container it's shipped in would make a stylish gift.
