Why stainless steel is essential in mixology
Stainless steel is the absolute reference material in the world of professional bars and high-end catering. Its corrosion resistance to citric acids (lemon, lime juice) and strong alcohols makes it the undeniable choice for bartenders worldwide.
Its organoleptic neutrality guarantees that no parasitic metallic taste will alter the pure flavor of your cocktails. Its high thermal conductivity is also a major asset during shaking: the shaker instantly cools upon contact with ice, rapidly lowering the mixture's temperature and generating the characteristic external condensation of a perfectly prepared cocktail.
Stainless, hygienic, lifelong durable: an investment that withstands the years without any alteration.

THE ART OF COCKTAILS AT HOME
Hosting guests with a homemade signature cocktail is one of the most refined expressions of contemporary entertaining. This complete bartender kit gives you access to the entire technical vocabulary of professional mixology: the energetic shake that emulsifies and cools, the precise stir that mixes without diluting, the expressive muddle that releases the essential oils of fresh herbs, the metered dosage with the jigger that transforms a recipe into perfect balance.

The transparent acrylic stand provides the final touch, transforming your setup into a true designer cocktail bar, where every accessory finds its place and invites creativity.
Prepare your first cocktail in 4 steps
1
Measure precisely with the jigger
Measure each liquid ingredient using the double-sided jigger. Precise proportions are key to a balanced cocktail: an excess of alcohol or sugar can unbalance the entire recipe.
2
Prepare the aromatic base
Use the muddler to gently crush fresh herbs (mint, basil), fruits (lime, berries), or sugar cubes directly at the bottom of the shaker. This step releases essential aromas.
3
Shake or stir according to the recipe
Add ice cubes with the tongs, seal the shaker tightly, and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds. For stirred cocktails (Manhattan, Martini), stir gently with the twisted spoon.
4
Pour through the strainer
Place the hawthorne strainer on the shaker and pour into the serving glass. The strainer retains ice and residues for a clear cocktail. Garnish and serve immediately.

What cocktails can be prepared with this kit?
Mojito (rum, mint, lime, sugar, sparkling water), Margarita (tequila, triple sec, lime), Old Fashioned (whiskey, sugar, angostura, orange), Negroni (gin, campari, red vermouth), Daiquiri (rum, lime, sugar), Whisky Sour (whiskey, lemon, sugar, egg white), Cosmopolitan (vodka, triple sec, cranberry, lime), Espresso Martini (vodka, coffee, coffee liqueur), Caipirinha (cachaça, lime, sugar), premium Gin & Tonic with jigger, Bloody Mary, Piña Colada, French 75, and the entire classic international mixology repertoire.
Mixologist tip: the quality of the ice is as important as that of the spirits. Use ice cubes made with filtered water to avoid a chlorine taste. For cocktails served on the rocks (Old Fashioned, Negroni), opt for a single large ice cube that melts slowly and preserves the cocktail's concentration. For shaking, use standard-sized ice cubes at a minimum of -10°C (taken from the freezer at least 4 hours prior): they cool without excessive dilution.

Precautions for use and maintenance: rinse each accessory immediately after use with lukewarm water to prevent sugary residues (juice, syrups) from drying and adhering. Hand washing with mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge is recommended to preserve the shine of the stainless steel parts and the transparency of the acrylic stand. The acrylic stand should never be placed in the dishwasher or exposed to high temperatures: heat will irreversibly deform and cloud the acrylic. Immediately dry metal parts with a soft cloth to prevent limescale marks. Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring powder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this kit suitable for mixology beginners?
Absolutely. This kit is specifically designed for starting out in mixology: all essential tools are included, without an accumulation of specialized accessories unnecessary for initial recipes. The 3-piece cobbler shaker is the simplest format for a beginner to handle (unlike the Boston shaker which requires more technique). The graduated jigger naturally guides towards respecting proportions. By following a simple Mojito or Daiquiri recipe, you will achieve a professional result from your very first attempts.
What is the actual capacity of the 750 ml shaker?
The 750 ml capacity corresponds to the total volume of the shaker. In practice, it allows you to comfortably prepare 2 to 3 cocktails simultaneously, leaving enough room for ice cubes and the shaking motion necessary for a good emulsion. For 1 single cocktail, approximately 200 to 250 ml of liquid is used, supplemented by ice cubes. For 3 cocktails, allow 500 to 600 ml of liquid. Beyond that, prefer two successive passes to maintain optimal emulsion quality.
Is the acrylic stand dishwasher safe?
No, absolutely not. The acrylic stand should never be placed in the dishwasher. Prolonged heat and aggressive detergents will irreversibly deform and cloud the acrylic, creating a whitish haze that ruins the transparent aesthetic of the base. To clean it, only use a slightly damp microfiber cloth with a few drops of mild dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. Also avoid household alcohol, which can crack the acrylic.
What's the difference between shake and stir?
These are the two fundamental techniques in mixology. Shaking involves vigorously shaking ingredients in a closed shaker for 10 to 15 seconds: it emulsifies, chills strongly, and aerates the cocktail (ideal when you have juice, syrup, eggs, or cream). Stirring involves gently stirring in a mixing glass with a bar spoon for 20 to 30 seconds: it mixes and chills without aerating or over-diluting (ideal for 100% alcohol cocktails like the Manhattan, Negroni, or Martini).
Does stainless steel alter the taste of cocktails?
No, it's quite the opposite. Stainless steel is the reference material in professional mixology for its perfect taste neutrality. Unlike some metals (untinned copper, iron) that can release compounds altering flavors, stainless steel is completely inert in contact with the acids, alcohols, and sugars present in cocktails. All professional bars worldwide use stainless steel for this reason.
How do I maintain this kit long-term?
Maintenance is very simple. After each use: immediately rinse metal parts with lukewarm water to prevent sugar and juice adherence. Hand wash with mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge, then immediately dry with a soft cloth. For the acrylic stand: use a damp microfiber cloth only, never alcohol or aggressive products. Periodically: to revive the shine of stainless steel parts, rub with a cloth soaked in water with white vinegar, then rinse and dry. With this care, the kit will last for years without alteration.
Is this kit a good gift?
This is one of our most universally appreciated gift sets. Ready-to-give format, complete contents, elegant aesthetics thanks to the acrylic stand: it makes a positive impression on the recipient from the moment it's unwrapped. Particularly suitable for a young adult moving into a new home, a cocktail enthusiast, someone who enjoys entertaining, or for high-end corporate gifts. For an even more impactful present, pair it with a premium spirit bottle (aged rum, artisanal gin, single malt whiskey) or a mixology recipe book: your recipient can immediately prepare their first signature cocktail.
