We’ve hit a 404. Sorry :/
- Since you’re here, have a look below at my recommended bar tools.

1. Shaker Tin
Cocktail Kingdom is a leading manufacturer of professional barware that's practical, elegant, yet durable for daily use. This weighted 18-ounce and 28-ounce tin set is made from 18/8 stainless steel, is simple to clean, and dishwasher safe. They form a tight, well-insulated seal when shaking with a great snap upon opening. In addition, you'll find them easy to store as you can slip the small tin inside the large one without them sticking together. These make for a nice upgrade from the Cobbler or "glass on tin" sets.
2. Mixing Glass
Seamless glassware is the optimal choice as it's harder to crack. Built to comfortably hold 18 oz (or two cocktails) with a weighted base that keeps firmly in place while you stir. It's compatible with both Hawthorne strainers, Julep strainers and made by a career bartender for bartenders. This mixing glass is carefully hand-packed in a stylish box that's also ideal for gifting.
3. Bar Spoon
A Bar Above designs quality bar supplies made by a bartender for bartenders. This set of two comes equipped with one smooth and one twisted handle. The smooth gives extra weight to the hand while the twisted lends extra grip. Both possess the perfect balance of comfort and speed.
4. Best Jigger
This jigger is one that I use. It’s double-sided with six measurement markings for preparing mixed drinks (the markings are laser-etched so that they won’t wear off). One side of the jigger measures ⅓ oz, ¾ oz, and 1 ½ oz while the other measures ¼ oz, ½ oz, and 1 oz. The ergonomic non-slip grip makes it easy to hold. It’s stainless steel and dishwasher safe, making it ideal barware to endure any occasion. It's also one of the most widely reviewed on Amazon, with nearly 90% giving it a five-star review.
5. Cocktail Strainer
OXO is a reputable brand known for its high-quality products and this stainless steel bar tool is no exception. Featuring a "happy hands" soft, non-slip finger rest and raised lip for fewer drips, spills, and puddles. It's the perfect accomplice to your mixing glass or cocktail shaker. The short handle makes for easy storage with the bonus of being dishwasher safe.
