Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Anchor Hocking 5-Piece Martini Gift Set
Customer Review: Better than "stirring" a martini.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is not the Martini set for Martini "fanatics" but for someone who wants to whip up a couple and have "correct" glassware its really not bad.
I based my rating of four stars mostly on function and price. The shaker works well enough. It is necessary to get the top correctly fitted on the lower glass. Since this shaker is made of glass there is a rubber gasket at the top that keeps the setup from leaking. This makes the large top (not the cap for the pourer) a bit difficult to remove and replace if your not careful. Once you've done it a few times it becomes much easier.
The glasses are reasonably strong (actually a bit heavy) for stemware. They are very large (will take up shelf space) but a shaker divided four ways is about right (Martinis shouldn't really be "sloshing" in the glass).
This is not the prettiest set under the sun. The glass is okay but certainly not top end. Much more of a casual or outdoor set than something for a high end cocktail party.
Long story short this is a relatively easy to use, low cost, martini set that will let you make better martini's than if you tried to mix them in a typical cocktail glass.
Tip of the day: Vermouth counts nearly as much as the Gin or Vodka ... don't cheap out you'll regret it.
Description of Anchor Hocking 5-Piece Martini Gift Set
Pleasingly retro, this five-piece martini set comprises a shaker and four big martini glasses, all with a curvy ribbed design that recalls the sophisticated supper clubs of Sinatra's early years. The 8-inch-tall shaker comes with a lustrous chrome strainer top and cap for dripless shaking and holds 18-1/2 ounces, enough for creating two martinis at once. The 10-ounce glasses stand 7 inches high. Both shaker and glasses are dishwasher-safe. --Fred BrackCocktail Shakers
