If you are an expert at drinking cocktails but a novice at making them, this shaker is a good place to start. It’s pretty basic in terms of design, but the body includes recipes for six cocktails – Martini Dry, Rob Roy, Red Lion, Manhattan, Bronx and Vodka Dryplus – plus 'mix-to-the-line' markers so you don’t have to buy a jigger. Or stock up on recipe books.
