Napier Cocktail Shaker

While it is a functional tool with a built-in strainer, its silver-plated finish and vintage nature mean it requires more careful handling than modern stainless steel shakers. It works perfectly for the occasional personal cocktail, but it is best suited for those who appreciate the ritual of vintage barware.

This shaker is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish, hand wash it gently with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots or tarnishing.

Yes, with a 4-ounce capacity, it is designed specifically for a single-serving drink. It will comfortably hold a standard cocktail recipe, including spirits, mixers, and ice, though you may need to shake gently to accommodate the volume.

The top cup is designed to fit securely, but because this is a vintage-style piece, it lacks the rubber gaskets found on modern shakers. Hold the top firmly in place with your hand while shaking to ensure a leak-free experience.

Silver plating can react with highly acidic ingredients if left in contact for extended periods. To preserve the finish, we recommend mixing your drink and pouring it into a glass immediately rather than letting the cocktail sit in the shaker.
