Anchor
Hocking "Celebrate" 5-Piece Martini Set
I
was in search of a glass cocktail shaker rather than a stainless
and was pleasantly surprised finding this beautiful set. My
personal experience is that the strainer on stainless shakers
can be difficult to remove to rinse out between cocktails.
Feigning a similarity to Anchor Hocking's Depression glass
series entitled "Manhattan," this set is quite nice. This
glassware, also made by Anchor Hocking, is named "Celebrate."
My only annoyance with it is that the (9 oz. not 10 oz.) glasses
are just too large for a single martini and a too many double
martinis can be a problem. Oddly enough, the (18.5 oz.) shaker
seems disproportionate to the glasses. However, with it's
excellent horizontal rib styling I can easily overlook that.
The shaker itself also has a rubber gasket at the top so that
it prevents leaking, but can be a little difficult to take
off the lid however, not as bad as a stainless model. The
glasses have a nice weight and feel really nice enjoying a
Chocolate Martini or a Gibson. While Amazon listed this product
as taking 1-2 weeks for delivery, in reality it took nearly
two months to arrive. All in all, if you have the time to
wait this is a wonderful modern-retro set to add to your bar.
