ALESSI - Shaker para cocktails 870

Almost every bartender I know has one of these, and after a few weeks I get why—it's a 1950s design that still feels completely modern. Shakes smoothly, pours clean, and looks beautiful sitting on the shelf.

Used this for a home cocktail night and the pour spout really does control the flow — no drips down the side like my old one. The steel stays cold in hand too, which is oddly satisfying when shaking.

The tapered shape really does make a difference when you're shaking, less splash than my old straight-sided one. Only gripe is the cap takes a bit of a twist to seat properly, but once it's on there's no leaking. Feels solid enough to last.
