Insulated Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker

Making cocktails for some time now, my trusty shaker has started to show its age and signs of use, so I decided to look for an upgrade. Looking at many shakers, they all seemed to share a similar design, and nothing really jumped out at me.Then I came across the Snowfox Double Wall shaker. Being familiar with double walled bottles in my Hydroflask coffee mug, I was both surprised and intrigued by this technology being implemented in a shaker. Looking at the colors and design, I found one that really caught my eye, and decided to place an order.Unboxing my Snowfox shaker, I was very impressed with the quality and finish of it. I chose the gold color of shaker, and everything short of the stainless cap was finished in a beautiful hue. The instructions stated to hand wash only, not dish wash, to extend the life of the finish, however; much like my other shaker, knives, and other kitchen tools, handwashing/drying is pretty standard. One thing that I was not expecting was the airtightness of the shaker. While most shakers have lid and cap that can be placed on at once, the Snowfox creates such an amazing seal due to the silicone gasket (more on that below), that it’s necessary to put the lid on first, then the cap. Although it’s a very small detail, and a minor adjustment, this seemed worth mentioning as it is slightly different than any other shaker I have used.This silicone gasket on the top of the body of the shaker is a little bit of an adjustment, as it makes it a little more difficult to get the lid off and on to the shaker. What you get as a result however, is a legitimately airtight shaker, that I was able to hold upside down with one hand, without any concern of the lid slipping, leaking or coming apart. Doing smaller batches of cocktails, this isn’t a problem whatsoever, and I actually prefer the security that the extra seal provides. In a commercial setting though, one might want to get a little comfortable with the shaker before using it as their go-to during a busy happy hour or weekend rush.One of my favorite features of this shaker is what had drawn me to it initially - the double walled construction. For those unfamiliar with double walled bottles (and shakers), there are two layers of metal, separated by a sealed space. This does a couple things functionally. First, this construction insulates the interior contents, keeping hot things hot, and cold things cold. Mixing up cocktails on a hot summer day, or in warmer conditions, this keeps the cocktail colder while slowing (but not stopping), the melting process. Another feature of the double walled construction that I like is that the insulation prevents the outside of the shaker from “sweating”, frosting over on the outside, or even feeling noticeably colder as the cocktail is shaken. This was really a nice comfort factor, not having to worry about cold hands.Overall, I am absolutely in love with this shaker! The only thing that I was not expecting was the very tight seal caused by the silicone gasket around the body, which was certainly an adjustment at first. The benefits to this though, as said before, do make this well worthwhile. I am very impressed with the Snowfox shaker, and for $39.99 for this version, it has incredible value for the price.

As soon as you pick up the shaker you know it is of high quality. It is very light weight, but the material is extremely solid and has a premium feeling and look to it. I purchased the stainless steel version to match my other bar equipment, and it is very nice looking.First of all this shaker keeps things ICE cold for a long, long time. I have used insulated tumblers in the past but this is the first insulated shaker I have owned. The outside of the shaker doesn't change temperature like a normal stainless steel shaker. You can comfortably hold the shaker without it freezing your hand. The only part that appears to not be insulated is the top and cap. The insulation in the main part of the shaker keeps all the drinks I make cold for up to several hours. I suspect it would work for even longer, but that's about the maximum before the shaker is empty and it's time to make another drink! I really, really wish they sold a larger version of the shaker (twice the size maybe?).The three piece construction of the shaker holds well together when shaking/mixing, and I like the fact it has a built in strainer in the top (just remove the cap and pour). The rubber gasket produces a very tight seal. I have not noticed any leaks while shaking and I also haven't felt as though I have to hold it "together" more than normal.I do want to echo some reviews stating the rubber gasket "slips" or has a tendency to by pulled slightly off the bottom when removing the top. However, it doesn't appear to happen every time I remove the top and usually occurs after it has been sealed for awhile. Each time I have noticed it I have been able to pull the gasket back down into its normal position with no problem.I also want to note that the stainless steel version is the only one advertised as dishwasher safe. Typically I hand wash my bar equipment but the few times I have placed it in a dishwasher it has come out with no problem.In conclusion I highly recommend this shaker and feel it is well worth the price. I only wish they also sold a larger version so I could make larger batches at a time.

Love it does keep cold longer. Only problem is you can't keep lif lid fully on when resting. Starts to pop open

I am bartender enthusiast so I have had many cocktail shakers over the years. The Snowfox shaker has a fantastic design as it solves two major problems that other shakers have. The first problem is often one's hand freezes while shaking a drink. This is solved by Snowfox's double wall design. The insulation is so good that you truly do not know that ice is inside. in fact I have left my shaker filled with ice accidentally over night and the next day maybe 50% has melted at most. This means that you can shake martini and leave it in the shaker for a long time and ocme back to it and pour more without concern of it being watered down. The second problem is leakage. Nothing is worse than shaking a cocktail or pouring one and it leaks making a mess everywhere. Due to Snowfox's rubber gasket between the filter and the main body there are zero leaks. You can shake a cocktail at the table without fear. Finally, while this is a subjective observation the overall look and feel is something that you can be proud of and place on even the fanciest of bars. While a little pricey it is well worth the investment as this will last a lifetime.

Seal doesn’t last, paint chips, lid gets locked…over all just not impressed as it didn’t last. Worked great for about 3 months

Very attractive & double walled is the only way to own this set. The shaker has a band that the lid sits upon to stay tight & removed easy. It’s not required to use with the black band that creates a tight fit for shaking . The color is awesome

The couple loved it!

Didn't love the way it does not close properly due to the vacuum seal

Better than advertised! The double insulated walls are amazing for keeping your hands from freezing after shaking a few drinks. The built in strainer is genius. Quality material, no drip and strong suction. This bad boy is worth every penny.

Love the look of this. Plus doesn’t leak and is very sturdy. Some of the black colour is coming off which isn’t the best but love it anyway

I was looking for a shaker that didn't leak and this is it! Only criticisms are that it is slightly pricey in AUD and that the gold isn't dishwasher safe

I mean "keep your hands from freezing" is a bit of a stretch seeing as the top isnt double walled......But In any case, the cap seals well, the top seals well, the bottom insulation does work as youd expect, it looks good, so no real complaints there.I wish it was 750ML.... but it is what it is. Theres no real fault other than the top really should be double walled if you ask me, but hey.

Tends to leak
