My husband and I are HUGE fans of BAR RESCUE, with John Taffer, on SPIKE. One of my favorite things about it is watching the expert bar tenders teach others to use the Cocktail Shakers. They’re always smiling and joking and looking suave and sophisticated. When I saw this Bar tending Set, I just had to get it. Although, to be honest, my husband and I aren’t big cocktail drinkers. Our son, and his wife, however are. So, we bought it for them for this upcoming Christmas (2017). I can’t wait to be there when they try them out. My husband and I are lost causes when it comes to be suave and sophisticated. But the kids still have a shot! LOL.
I did open the box and look at everything before I wrapped it up for Christmas. (Yes, I’m THAT person. My Christmas shopping is almost done and it’s only Sept.) It’s beautiful; all shiny and bright. I love that it comes with all the accessories—shaker, shot glass, strainer and stir-spoon. Hoping this will get me extra points at Christmas with my son. 😊

Great for beginner. Pros find a better one!
I bough this set about 6 months ago. I was looking for a hobby and ended up making cocktails.As a beginner, I was looking for an inexpensive start kit to learn basics and test out different recipes and preparing techniques.After heavily using the kit, let me tell you why I am giving 4 stars:- Shaker. It's really good quality shaker. Easy to use - easy to clean. Great size, but you really can't feet ingredients if you want to make a drink for 2 people.Also, after getting into this cocktails/mixology field I understand that Boston shaker is much better than this Martini shaker style- Jigger. Fell apart in 3 weeks. 2 parts got separated from each other. So I bought a new one better quality jigger.Another thing to consider is that capacity of the Jigger listed in the description is not correct. I don't remember what is the exact capacity, but I was testing it.-Strainer. When everything was new to me I thought it's a great strainer. But again now I see that there are tons of better quality strainers. This one is ok for beginners to learn basics, but a lot of ice is going through it.-Tongs. I have never used them honestly. But if you have people watching you doing cocktails you can pick up barriers or fruits using it.-Spoon. I like it because it can be used as a straw to test the prepared cocktails. Also, is a great tool to add a small portion of syrups or liquid garnishing to your drink. You can mix the drink as well. Nice size.Overall it's a good set for beginners. But if you are experienced home bartender i suggest finding another one better quality. Remember, you are doing cocktails for yourself mainly, so choose better accessories, quality liqueur and spirits, fresh fruits.

Vremi never lets me down! We try to mix drinks at home to save money from time to time, and this set makes it easy! It's really gorgeous, very high quality, and has everything I need!
My favorite thing about this set is the nice seal around the top! I've had another shaker that was difficult to close, and if you had it just a bit off, it would leak. This shaker does not leak, and has a perfect seal! I love the look of it! I'm hoping to have a small bar area in our next house, and this will look very nice there! I'm also over the moon that this set is dishwasher safe. I'm a big fan of not having to hand wash dishes. On a side note, Vremi has top notch customer service! I can't like this enough!

The strainer and tongs work great. The shaker is alright, but the seal can be a bit finicky. You have to remove the cap when putting the lid on, or else the lid doesn't seal properly or the cap pops off. The jigger is okay, but I would've liked volumetric markings somewhere on it. The bar spoon is unusable. The handle of the spoon is a long, roughly-cut, hollow tube. It's unsightly, and liquid could easily get stuck inside it and make it unsanitary. When on sale, this kit isn't bad, but it isn't great either. The packaging was nice, though.
