We recommend hand washing with mild detergent and warm water to preserve your shaker's premium finish.

Yes. The Elevated Craft Shaker is designed to last for decades. Long lasting and reusable consumer products have the least environmental impact, and our shaker is no different. We want this to be the last shaker you will ever need to buy and we are committed to stocking replacement parts to keep you shakin’. See our warranty policy for more details.

With the Elevated Craft Shaker, you still get the essential ice dilution due to the transfer of heat from the room temperature alcohol (or any liquid) to the ice, however, you will not over-dilute your cocktail on a hot day because the internal temperature of the shaker is constant. With the Elevated Craft Shaker, the ice becomes an ingredient that you can predictably dial in depending on the amount of dilution you want.

For example, we use large ice for less dilution and small ice if we want more dilution. After about 12-15 seconds of shaking, the beverage has been chilled to its lowest point and is ready to serve!

If you are asking this question then you have probably shaken up hundreds (or maybe thousands) of cocktails in single wall shakers and you are very curious about the buzz around the Elevated Craft Shaker. The good news is, you no longer need to freeze your hands to tell if a cocktail is cold but you do have to trust science and get a sense for the timing. Max chill happens around 12-15 seconds after you start shaking when using room temperature liquids and a moderate amount of ice. While shaking, the laws of thermodynamics are working in your favor to bring the contents inside the shaker to thermal equilibrium. Depending on the cocktail ingredients, you may want to shake for longer to aerate the liquid more and enhance the texture. For a drink like a margarita or martini...a quick 12-15 second shake will do the job. In addition, you can play with the type of ice you shake with to really dial in the technique and dilution. Just a reminder, it’s generally not a good idea to shake with crushed ice because it will over dilute your drink and also clog the strainer.

Whiskey Sour, anyone!? The Elevated Craft Shaker works amazingly well to get that perfect foam when incorporating egg whites. When using the dry shake method, just relieve the pressure by twisting the small lid before removing the measuring top.

The Elevated Craft Cocktail Shaker was designed to specifically address the needs of your home bar. Commercial bars have to optimize for speed and cost which is why most of them use two tin cups (aka Boston Shakers). Boston Shakers are cheap and fast but for home use, they can be messy, get stuck together and have a steep learning curve. The Elevated Craft Cocktail Shaker is great when you’re making cocktails for small gatherings at home but if you are slinging drinks in a commercial bar, then we won’t blame you if you stick with your tins.

If you can open a jar from the grocery store and unscrew the top of a gatorade bottle without a tool, you should be okay unscrewing the shaker. If your arthritis or grip strength causes you to struggle to unscrew everyday home items then there will be a learning curve with the shaker so please be advised. The good news is that the parts will never get frozen stuck but it does take a little practice to get used to twisting the shaker open / closed. We have found that after a few uses, the steel parts break-in (like a good pair of shoes) and continue to get better and better over time.

The main tumbler holds 21.5 ounces of liquid. The total assembled volume of the shaker is 28 oz. When assembled, the shaker can transport pre-batched cocktails, an entire bottle of chilled wine or a 750 ml bottle of your favorite spirit.

Yes. The opening of the shaker tumbler is similar in diameter to a normal pint glass.

We’ve tested dozens of strainer hole patterns and we arrived on one that allows the best flow at a 45 degree angle. Using an angled pour helps prevent that "glug glug" thing that causes a mess. When muddling berries in the shaker, we recommend pouring from the main tumbler to prevent clogging.

Nope! Our gaskets are made from distillery grade silicone and they are designed to last forever. That being said, if your garbage disposal (or cat) chews one up then it might help to have a backup set which is why we sell the Hybrid Shaker Small Lid Gasket Kit, as well as the Large Gasket Replacement Kit directly from our website to keep you shakin' for a long time to come.

Note: if you purchased a shaker early on from our Kickstarter campaign, please reach out to us to discuss your large gasket needs as your shaker may have a different gasket than the shakers sold today.
