Review on Optimized Libbey Mixologist 9 Piece Cocktail Set by Eric Nelso

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Poor quality and design

Terrible quality. All stainless steel parts on the bottom or on the mesh part of the lid rusted after the first wash in the dishwasher. I thought maybe it wasn't dishwasher safe and I saw something very tricky and misleading in the product review: It says all GLASS parts are dishwasher safe but nothing about the care of stainless steel parts. The metal is thin and unfinished (the top wasn't sanded so almost cut myself opening it) and it was poorly designed as it took my husband and I about an hour to even get the top off. I think when they designed it in CAD they didn't take into account the thickness of the material so the parts don't fit together. Don't take this set with you - you'll just return it like we did!

Pros
  • Includes 1.2 ounce stack; 1, 20 ounce mixing glass; 1 metal sieve; 1 wooden pestle; 1 metal spoon for stirring; 1 metal stand for a shaker; and 1 metal three piece shaker
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
