I could be wrong but it would seem this is not balsamic vinegar..

Cavedoni, where are you? I want the pride of your family!

Where's the bada$$ basalmic? Where's the wine? C'mon wine.woot!

It has a different tang to it when you try to taste it, yes.

Does anyone have any good cocktail recipes that use balsamic?

One non-wine a day I get. Two on Thursday I understand. 3 straight days of no wine on WINE.WOOT is baffling.

This looks like a good balsamic vinegar martini.

Vodka - check
Strawberry - check
Orange - check
Cocktail shaker - check
Balsamic -

Hmm, I seem to be missing one ingredient.

Is this some sort of fancy red wine shake-rator for those who think a Vinturi isn't quite fast enough?

After an amazing first day of Gift Week, and a perfectly timed Vinturi purchase, I've been disappointed with the rest of the week so far, and I am not waiting for any balsamic like everyone else. How about some more Ty or some PW or some Corizon? Or maybe gift week will flow right into a woot-off and my wallet will be screaming anyway.

$39.95 for the set elsewhere

That site is in Barbados and the currency is shown in BD and not USD. Not sure of the conversion rate on that...

Set retails for $54 from the company website.

BD$39.95 is about US$20, which would be oddly inexpensive.

Edit: despite what is shown in the photo, that price is only for the jigger measure - the shaker and muddler are sold separately.

unless anyone can attest for the quality of this set firsthand, the quality of the non liquor brand sets are horrible. I bartender the past 5 years to pay my way through college, and the best cocktail sets out there are the ones you get from your local alcohol reps. They are made for heavy use and last FOREVER. These "homier" use sets tend to rust (regardless of stainless), break, warp, etc. Make a new friend today and start sucking up. Who knows, you may even get a discount on some wine, not to mention liquor, if you pull it off right

Horrible reviews on Amazon, looks like metal, but apparantly its plastic and leaks, and melts in the dishwasher.

Damn, I lost my muddler, and almost bought this set!

I wanted to go to wine.woot. I may have landed on cocktail.woot by mistake

This item looks to be have a particularly poor design, but I would be leery of any shaker that seems too complicated or fancy. Plain stainless will be more reliable than something with attached gewgaws and "features", and a bare-bones shaker tin, mixing glass, and bar strainer setup will work better than a home shaker with built-in cap and strainer.

Sites like barsupplies.com sell sturdy bar equipment cheaply - here's a useful video they did about the exciting world of cocktail shakers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fP936tLPoA

The product name sounds like the lineup at a hip-hop concert.

I shall clap for this one... well done.

I swear by glass mason jars for shakers. I've also used glass jam jars. Any glass jar with a sturdy screw-on lid. They also second as nice places to let alcohol infusions take shape. And can serve as drinkware in a pinch. AMAZING!

Any idea if this is a double wall vacuum? If so, the shaker would be great mug for loose leaf teas.

Six non-wine wine.woot's in a row.....yawn!

Hope something good is in the pipeline

It's gift week people!!!

We have 51 weeks, filled with wine 86% of the time. I think we can all survive a week with only 3 wine offers.

You are so nice. I, on the other hand, am sorely disappointed, frustrated beyond belief and really, really pissed!!! What is wrong with those who are supposed to be helping us spend our money on superb wines at the price of swill?

If this is the same shaker I saw at BB&B, it's pretty bad @ss'ed.
We were out looking for a bday present and I so wanted to get this, but it was at least twice the price.
It felt very sturdy, and the flip top acted as a strainer.
Now I can get two

I bought one of these Metrokane cocktail shakers from Woot! about 6-8 months ago. It broke after a couple of months. The top is stuck in the up position. Waste of $$$!

I don't know if I can make it, I'm having withdrawals

I got one here too, maybe a year ago and it's still going strong with nearly-weekly use. A few weeks ago, I was wishing for a second one, so I may pick up this set.

Yes, it's double-walled so my hands don't freeze while shaking, but it's a bit wider than a travel mug, if that's what you're thinking, jjhu. You also couldn't really drink out of it, and the strainer in the lid isn't a fine mesh. It keeps ice cubes back, but wouldn't keep loose tea out of your drink.

I have some mobility/grip issues with my hands, and this is a really easy shaker for me to use. I've heard complaints about the lid being difficult to clean, but I've never had trouble - I wash it almost immediately after use (or soak if I can't get to it right away) and then rinse really well, let air dry. (I've never put it in the dishwasher.)

Edit: I just put a little loose tea in it with water, waited a moment, and poured. It definitely didn't hold back any of the tea. Otherwise, it would be a great way to carry hot tea (with a separate cup to drink from). Yep, I'm in for one more for those times I need to serve two kinds of cocktails and don't want to be stuck washing one shaker every five minutes.

My muddler (which I use more often for mint juleps) is a little souvenir Louisville Slugger with the finish sanded off the end. It works great, and it is a nice conversation piece.

My shaker is a sturdy pint glass and a larger metal cup.

I got the cocktail shaker previously as a gift, and it serves it's purpose well. The flip top is more convenient than my previous shaker which was just a metal cap. Not a bad gift for the alcoholic/bartender type.

Yea I don't understand how, by FRIDAY, people still aren't getting the concept of gift week.

Seriously, you'd think they'd take a few minutes before complaining and realize MAYBE something different is happening.

What do you think we're complaining about? That's it! We don't WANT a gift week. We want Wine.woot to sell wine, nothing but wine. Get it?

Easy using that "we" there, killer. I rather enjoy gift week. In fact, I have purchased three gifts! Imagine that. Ok, two were for me, but I deserve presents, too! And lest "we" (and by that, I mean, you) forget, we have had three wine offers since the start of gift week. Take into consideration: during a normal week, we would have had 5 offers by this point. So, we're only one off pace (since we normally have one non-wine item per week). I think "we" can handle one extra non-wine item without having a meltdown. At least I can.

well, you've just considerably increased the quantity of whine on this site
