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!

Legacy Portable
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
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
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.
Barfly Deluxe
Once we get the fundamentals out of the way, if you find a set that includes tools such as lemon zester, bar knives or a corkscrew, you know you’re dealing with the big dogs. This elite barware set, although a bit more expensive than others, is worth the extra dough. (You’ll probably earn it all back in tips after entertaining your friends and family anyway!) The Japanese-style jigger, which tends to be tall and slender to allow for finer measurements, also has easy-to-read lines on the inside for that precision pour. The durability and reliability of these tools will exceed expectations with their solid, heavy feel.
