HIC Penguin Cocktail Shaker, 18/8 Stainless Steel, 18-Ounce

What's not to like about a nice shiny penguin that looks great, shakes and dispenses tempting cocktails? Excellent product which has been well made (for the price). It has now been used extensively and there are no signs of wear, tarnishing, etc.

Re: HIC Penguin Cocktail Shaker, 18/8 Stainless Steel, 18-ounceJust got this thing in the mail & already used it to make 3 iced coffees from my Nespresso Evoluo Vertuo machine.FINALLY something that not only works, doesn't leak, won't CRACK when I shake it or explode when hot coffee is poured over the ice, made of 18/8 stainless steel (like silverware so won't rust), perfect size, and makes me so happy when I look at how cute it is!You don't need a Nespresso machine, you could just use regular coffee.I pre-make coffee ice cubes & use 3 to 4 big ones (just barely sticking up out of the bottom half of the penguin), add some creamer, then it perfectly fits under the machine's spout. I squeeze 2 or 3 rounds off the same pod (trust me it is still STRONG), add the top pieces back on, SHAKE really hard (NO LEAKS!), take the top pieces back off and just drink from the bottom half cup.It would make a seriously great gift (who wouldn't smile when they see this) and not just cocktails can be made with it.Impressive quality was a surprise since that seems to be lacking here lately. Excellent find! :)

This is great for anybody who loves penguins or has a quirky bar. It's even better because it functions properly.

We love our little penguin shaker! Easy to use. Doesn’t stick closed. Made well.

High quality shaker, love the look. Only improvement would to make it a bit bigger so I could make two pint-sized margaritas at one time. Would be perfect for 2 "normal" sized drinks up or on the rocks.

A very nice shaker, possibly for special occasions, or when surrounded by classy people; I doubt morons would appreciate it. It is classy, elegant and does stand out, everyone loves the penguin and the drinks that come out of it. I ordered this between x-mas and new year's for new year's and got it on new year's eve, right on time, way to go Amazon!! The only problem is the separations, which tend to leave messy areas when making drinks, hands can get sticky and can be awkward to separate after one too many. Its shell also gets very cold when packed with ice, so a word to the wise, use a towel when shaking, I used a dish drying towel or a shower towel; the latter is better but I will get one for it. Not an every day or a marathon drink making tool but it won the New Year's / company party. Make sure you close it firmly before shaking, it can leak if not held down hard enough.That said, I recommend it as a backup, a spare when one drink mixer ain't enough or even to make those more complex drinks. I don't recommend it if you have problems with your hands because it can be tricky to handle. I will use it again but will likely but a shaker made more for production.
