They freeze best in the kitchen and dining room

I was impressed with the quality upon purchase. Heavy weight and welding on kettlebells is very high quality. One problem with Koriko is that it rusts around the weights; there is no problem here. I gave my pair to my bartender friend and he complained that they got cold while working. I've tried them at home and sometimes they freeze and sometimes they don't. The more ice and liquid you throw in, the more likely they are to freeze, so making two cocktails at once can be a challenge. The other downside is, well, the weight. At first it was cool to use such a heavy shaker, but after the novelty wore off I got tired of using it. So what to buy? Koriko is better but rust around the weights is a problem. I find almost everything in Cocktail Kingdom to be of mediocre quality and generally do not recommend this brand. Yukiwa never freezes, but neither does it completely seal. The Boston shaker is the ONLY thing Yukiwa makes that I don't like, other than the fact that I always buy Yukiwa for some steel utensils. Naranja is the best I've ever used, but the only place to buy it, the Bar Times Store, does not ship to the US during COVID19. I bought the A Bar Above brand and will see if it can compete with Naranja. Heck, who knew finding a decent Boston shaker would be so hard?
