Waterford Lismore Cocktail Shaker

While crystal is more delicate than stainless steel, this shaker is designed for functional use. It is durable enough for regular cocktail preparation, though it should be handled with care to avoid chipping or cracking against hard surfaces.

No, this shaker does not feature a built-in strainer. You will need to use a separate Hawthorne or Julep strainer when pouring your cocktails.

Hand wash the shaker using warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the high heat and abrasive detergents can dull the crystal's clarity and potentially damage the intricate cut patterns over time.

Yes, crystal is a thermal conductor, so the shaker will become very cold when filled with ice. Because it lacks the insulation of a double-walled metal shaker, you may want to use a bar towel to hold it comfortably while shaking.

The shaker is designed with a precision fit to prevent leaks during normal shaking. Ensure the lid is firmly seated before you begin to mix to maintain a secure seal.
