These nifty kits come packed with all the tools you need to shake, stir, and pour like a pro.

The Mixology Cocktail Shaker Set covers all the basic tools to whip up cocktails for home bartending. The 15 Piece bar set includes- ‎24 oz martini shaker with a built-in strainer, mojito muddler, and much more. The martini shaker, also referred to as a traditional Cobbler shaker, is a household favorite! Its sleek design (and the fact that its usage is no rocket science) makes it the go-to shaker for beginners.

Legacy Portable Bartending Set

Need to whip up a quick drink for the tailgate or family picnic? No problem— this kit includes four cocktail sticks, one strainer, tongs, one stirrer, one muddler, one double-sided jigger, one cocktail shaker, one paring knife, four lowball glasses, and an Acacia cutting board. Reminiscent of a vintage suitcase with its ballistic nylon & leatherette-accented exterior, you’ll impress everyone when you whip out this stylish box, and WOW them even more so when you hand them a well-mixed cocktail.

SOING Mixology 24-Piece Bartender Kit

You’ll never need to want for an additional tool if you opt for this home bartending set. (Having the corkscrew, ice tongs and bottle stoppers within reach will come in handy. Trust us.) With 24 pieces, this complete kit allows you to make your favorite drinks and even inspire a few new recipes thanks to the included recipes booklet. All the high-quality accessories were made to resist abrasion and rust so you can bet they’ll last a lifetime.

Highball & Chaser 13-Piece Cobbler Cocktail Shaker Set

Sometimes it’s about the little details, and this kit put together a thoughtfully curated collection of tools to elevate your at-home bartending experience. For example, the muddler is longer than most of the commonly available ones out there. It was designed this way so that you don’t have to worry about squishing your hand into your 25oz cocktail shaker. The scoop is also deeper than normal and holds more ice so you can forget about the cold. Plated in a bronze finish for a sleek matte copper look, all the accessories are dishwasher safe, making clean up a breeze.

Mixology & Craft Cocktail Shaker Set – 11-Piece Kit w/Weighted Boston Shaker

Now if you’re a little advanced and prefer something to match your skills, a set with a Boston shaker puts you in the major leagues. Keep in mind, the Boston shaker consists of a shaking metal tin and a mixing glass tin but has no built-in strainer. To seal, place the glass tin on top of the metal tin and with a firm grip tap on the back side of the glass tin. To unseal, tap the side of the metal tin. With a weighted Boston shaker, you get a tighter seal between the two parts, reducing leaks, and the weighted bottom conducts cold better, chilling drinks more quickly.
