I recently purchased a funky mini bar for my home, so naturally I needed bar acessories to not only be functional but also match the decor. Thats why I chose the Metrokane bullet shaker. Most shakers look the same-- very blah and ordinary. Not the bullet shaker-- this one is really cool looking and far from ordinary. I got many compliments this Thanksgiving when I mixed martinis with this shaker. The capacity is more than the average shaker, so you can mix more drinks per use. Plus this shaker has a built in strainer-- which is a must for anyone looking for a shaker.

The only fear I had when I ordered this was the quality of the product. I feared that since it was so stylish looking it might not be a quality shaker-- perhaps sacrificing form for function. Not so with this shaker. It's made with solid stainless steel and is quite sturdy. So far is looks like it will definitly last many martinis.

Keep in mind that this is not an "insulated" cocktail shaker. The stainless steel body will get cold when mixing a few drinks in a row-- which is common for all metal shakers. Just keep a bar rag or napkin handy if you plan to shake a ton of drinks.

All in all I'm very pleased with my purchase.

You couldn't ask more from a martini shaker. Fill it with lots of ice, pour in vodka or gin, show the shaker that you own a bottle of vermouth, and shake vigorously for exactly forty-four (44) shakes. You will know when you are getting close because your hands will begin to become frostbitten. Allow the libation to rest for a couple of minutes while you prepare the glass. The idea is to pour clear liquid, not a foggy solution. If your drink tastes like glacier air, then you have created the perfect martini. Anything less is just cold alcohol.

I have searched high and low for a cocktail shaker that was large enough to make a "batch" of drinks and that didn't leak. Finally, I found one. This shaker doesn't leak like so many others and is a good size. I'm looking forward to using it for many years to come.

This thing is great. Not only does it look sharp on my barback it is very funtional. The built in strainer and extra capacity make for a very practical shaker for mixing more than one drink at a time. The Stainless steel shaker is easy to clean and does not carry drink flavors over when you change drinks as long as you rinse it out. Use a rag ( I use a Crown Royal Bag) to hold the shaker, it gets cold. The strainer tends to get trapped in the bullet lid when shaking drinks, especially when shaking with ice, its best to leave it off

I read these reviews before buying this item. Let me just say if you had any doubts about this product, don't! The cap is easy to get on and off and you CAN shake with the cap on. The shaker does get a little frosty but it's not THAT cold and it looks cool. I love this shaker!! It holds alot more liquid and it is so fun to use! BUY IT NOW!!!

You can't go wrong with the Bullet. My sister gave me this for a present and I have had absolutly no problems using it! I have used mine for a year now and I totally recommend this product to anyone and everyone.

This is my first cocktail shaker, and I bought it only after reading the other reviews on this website. I am not at all disappointed. The shaker is spacious, which is key when you're making martinis for four people at once. The striking design is certainly a conversation piece, and I don't know which my friends enjoy more: the drinks themselves or watching me make them. The only drawback I can see is that sometimes the strainer piece will become lodged in the "bullet tip" cap. . . cold ice not only shrinks the container, but lowers the pressure between capped strainer and bullet tip, creating troublesome suction. For practicality, the bullet tip should be left off when shaking, but it's not that hard to remedy even if it does happen.

Five stars!
