 porthole infuser this is great for
 infusing syrups for tea for at home use
 not just for cocktails you can also use
 the porthole infuser for
 homemade infused olive oils this is my
 favorite
 infuser jar of all time ever since i
 first stepped foot in the aviary
 saw it for the very first time i&amp;#39;ve
 built hundreds
 if not thousands of these we&amp;#39;re able to
 build a cocktail in here
 that changes flavor as you consume the
 beverage multiple strainer options
 inside here
 it has a perfect seal so you can seal it
 as long as you like and it&amp;#39;ll stay
 perfectly fresh for you
 what makes the porthole infuser so
 unique is the shape and the design
 the attention to every single detail so
 that this can also sit
 flat or it can sit on its side it can
 sit out when you have people over
 so you have the functional aspect of an
 infusion jar but you also have the
 beauty and presentation value
 to leave it out when you have friends
 over once i found the porthole infuser
 we realized that we could actually leave
 our working space out for people to view
 behind our bar people ask questions and
 people became more involved in our
 cocktail program
 we also were able to get more
 suggestions from guests
 and from other people who wanted to talk
 about our cocktails and developed a very
 strong
 connection with our guests on the
 quality
 and creativity of our cocktails i would
 recommend the porthole infuser
 for any super high end cocktail bar
 craft mixology or for at home use in
 small volume so that you can taste
 individual cocktails
 or small volumes of cocktails with very
 very intense infusions

Tough enough for high-volume bars and home bars alike, this Boston shaker has been hand-selected and tested by professional bartenders to be the highest quality and best shaker available. Two weighted shaker tins are the classic choice for the “bartender’s” Boston Shaker. Perfect for the experienced bartender and the ideal choice for flair. A solid, watertight seal is both strong and easy to open. Use the shaker for shaken drinks like Margaritas, Daiquiris, and Mojitos, or the bottom tin for stirred drinks like Martinis, Manhattan, or Old Fashioned. The tins also nest inside each other for low-profile storage when not in use.
