The one and only reason I bought this set is to be able to shake cocktails. When I do that, the liquid leaks out and comes dribbling and flying in all directions as I shake. Since the shaker set cannot be used as a shaker, it is all but useless. Wish I hadn't wasted my money on this.

This is a good looking set, and I really wanted to give it a great review, however it's simply too flawed.
The mixing glass is great. Nice large size, good weight to it. Solid. Very nice. The recipes on the side I don't really care for but they're nicely printed.
The shot glass is... well a shot glass, nothing special, but very nice. Like the mixing glass, it's solid and seems tough enough.
The real problem, and the reason it only gets 3 stars, is the stainless steel mixing cup. I don't know why, but it simply does not seal to the glass! And that's a damn big problem! Every angle tried, every force used it simply won't seal. And in the few instances where I got a seal, it never stayed. Needless to say, shaking is a mess!

I have another mixing cup, but unfortunately, because this glass is big, the cup can't cover it. So now I have to look for a separate mixing cup to fit this glass.

As I said the glass is great, but as a set, I'm not sure if this is worth buying. The mixing cup is all but useless.
