Questions people ask
Why use weighted shaking tins instead of a three-piece cobbler shaker?+
Weighted tins create a dependable thermal seal that breaks easily when tapped, chilling and aerating drinks without the lid freezing shut.
What is the difference between a coupe and a Nick and Nora glass?+
Coupes feature a wider, flared bowl suited for showcasing surface foam, while the straighter sides of a Nick and Nora glass preserve aromatic oils and resist sloshing.
How do you protect living room furniture during cocktail hour?+
Layer a rimmed wooden tray beneath a mirrored metal bar tray, giving you a spill-safe perimeter for shaking and pouring away from delicate upholstery.
Can you shake two drinks at once in standard bar tins?+
Yes, a paired set of weighted shaking tins holds enough volume and ice to blend and chill two standard cocktails in a single shake.
