Review on ๐Ÿธ Barillio Elite Mixology Bartender Kit: Complete Cocktail Shaker Set with Bar Tools, Stylish Bamboo Stand, Velvet Carry Bag & Recipes Booklet by Amy Hodgson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good for looks but not for use

Looks great but when you're mixing cocktails you'll immediately see that the hawthorn strainer is of poor quality only in spring. The gaps between the coils are too big and let pieces of ice through. The jigger doesn't have dimensions so you'll have to find out or connect to the internet to find out the dimensions. Bottle caps/fillers are loose and can fall out of many alcohol bottles and leak. The cocktail spoon doesn't have a good weight distribution for stirring and as it's a European style the end isn't just a stand for it, you have to be able to play around with it (not this one) and finally the cocktail spoon doesn't fit, it's a slot on the stand and I just put my old one in there and it fits. The bamboo trivet looks great and if the stainless steel is kept clean the set will look really great on the shelf. Ironically, the Cobler Shaker is surprisingly fine and doesn't leak like many of the cheaper ones. In fact, the manufacturer had a great idea, but it didn't materialize due to the use of inferior parts in the kit. I am. Don't recommend this unless it's just for an exhibition

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
