Crafthouse by Fortessa Cocktail Shaker

With a 50-ounce capacity, this shaker is designed for batch preparation. You can comfortably mix enough ingredients for 8 to 10 standard cocktails at once, making it ideal for hosting groups.

Yes, it serves two purposes: it keeps your cocktails chilled for longer without the exterior sweating, and it prevents the ice from melting too quickly, which keeps your drinks from becoming diluted during the shaking process.

The cap is designed to be durable, but because it is made of natural wood, it should be hand-washed and dried immediately rather than soaked. The stainless steel body, however, is dishwasher safe.

Yes, the cap is engineered to provide a secure, tight seal. As long as it is pressed firmly into place before you begin shaking, it will prevent spills.
