High-volume craft cocktail bartender from Orlando hereI have used several Parisian style shakers and this one stacks up well against some of the more expensive varieties. Everything is fairly heavy, even the cap. Love the feel and the compact 500ml size is perfect for me. Holds two drinks comfortably. The looks is quite polished which is nice but not too shiny or white-gold.The seal is so tight that some drinks have caused more bubbles than others and whilst attempting to release the seal it has popped the cap off projectile-style lolz. Definitely a quality product thus far.
