Bars N Roses Cocktail Shaker Set

This is a nice cocktail set, by Bars N Roses it would be a great purchase if you are just starting your bar items. The shaker is 25 ounces and made of stainless steel. It is a very shiny and much thicker than I had expected. The top has a strainer so you can make your drinks cold and leave the ice in the shaker. The Bar N Roses label is on the front of the shaker. Also included is a jigger, a bar towel, and ebook with tips and recipes. Very nice set, this will be perfect for my margaritas. I received this item in exchange for my honest review.

Executive ISE Sphere


This is a pack of two ice sphere molds. They are easy to use. Remove the rubber cap, fill water to the line shown on the base and replace the top. There's a little water on top after adding the lid, and i just dumped it out in the sink. To removed the ice spheres I removed the tops and then had to run water over the base to loosen them.  They have come out nicely, but not really easy to take out. When you run water on base, I think it's best to use cool water, hot water I think will make them crack.  If you don't want to worry about them cracking, remove the top then squeeze the bottom a few time and it will pop them out.  These are very large spheres, and definitely will not melt quick. They are larger than a golf ball, about the size of a cutie (mandarin orange).  

I really like this to put with a shot of whiskey, does not melt quick and water down your drink. Price is reasonable but it would be nice to come in a set of 4 and also nice if there were small, medium and large spheres to choose from. I received this item in exchange for my honest review.

Found my new beer mug!!!

Hammered Moscow Mule Cup

This is a beautiful 20 oz copper Moscow Mule Mug. Each mug is hand hammered by an Indian team of copper smiths, so no two are alike.  I love that it is 100% pure cooper and not copper plated. It has food safe lacquered to keep the cup from tarnishing. This cup is traditionally used to have Moscow Mules, which is basically Ginger Beer and Vodka with a slice of lime.  I have never had a Moscow Mule but I'm excited to try one in this cup. I have been using this cup to drink beer out of, and love how cold it keeps the beer. This cup is for cold beverages only, no coffee or tea.  It must be hand washed and need to be kept from microwaves and dishwashers. This Moscow Mule Mug in a nice box which would make it perfect for a gift. I received this in exchange for my honest review.
