I recently started using the OXO Good Grips Plastic Cocktail Shaker (20 oz / 590 mL capacity) for home bartending, and I love how convenient it is. However, one crucial point stands out: you need to be very mindful about securing the top, because the temperature change from shaking ice can easily break the seal and lead to spills.First ImpressionsComfortable Grip: True to the Good Grips name, the silicone or textured exterior is easy to hold, even when there’s condensation from cold drinks.Lightweight Yet Sturdy: While it’s made of plastic, it still feels reliably built for regular use.Performance & UseSecure Seal Is Key: When you’re shaking with ice, the temperature shift can make the plastic expand or contract slightly. Make sure to press firmly on the top before giving it a good shake, or you risk a messy spill (and losing your carefully measured liquids).Built-In Measurements: The clearly printed measuring lines help avoid extra tools, which is a nice perk.Easy to Clean: All parts disassemble for a quick hand wash or dishwasher cycle—no complicated grooves to worry about.ProsExcellent Grip: The non-slip design helps you keep hold of the shaker, even when it’s frosty.Leak-Resistant (When Properly Sealed): If the top is locked down firmly, you won’t have issues with leaking.Dishwasher-Safe: Simple cleanup for frequent mixologists.Great Capacity: 20 oz works well for multiple servings or one large cocktail.ConsSeal Vulnerable to Temperature Changes: You must ensure the lid is properly secured, or the cold can break the seal.Plastic Can Scratch Over Time: If it’s tossed around in a drawer with metal tools, expect some cosmetic wear.Final ThoughtsThe OXO Good Grips Plastic Cocktail Shaker is a solid, user-friendly tool for at-home cocktail enthusiasts. The biggest caution is to double-check the seal before you start shaking, especially when dealing with very cold ingredients. If you keep this in mind, you’ll find it’s a reliable, convenient addition to your home bar setup.Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Works great and doesn't leak when shaking cocktails!

Cocktails were shaken, not stirred. What else is there to say?For those that complain the top pops off when you put it on, they are putting the filter and cap/jigger on together, which causes a build up of air pressure inside and the lid pops off. To be fair, the lid pops off instead of air leaking around the seal, so you know the seal is water-tight.Here is how to avoid this situation:1. Leave the cap/jigger off.2. Put the filter on and push it down so the seal locks.3. Put the cap/jigger on.4. Shake like you're James Bond

I bought this inexpensive shaker because I wanted to start mixing drinks for my use and my friends. I’ve never mixed a drink before so I didn’t wanna spend a lot of money getting the equipment. There is a strainer in the neck of the shaker and the removable top also serves as a measuring cup. I think it’s of good quality. It’s NOT insulated so your hands will get cold when shaking. I used a hand towel just in case the top came off like it was mentioned in other reviews. The cap has a measure so you don’t need a jigger or shot glass. Easy to use but you absolutely NEED to use BOTH HANDS to shake it because it’s designed to come apart easily for placing ingredients and cleaning it. The components just fits together, not a screw top! Excellent value for a beginner mixologist.

Bought this to replace the OXO cocktail shaker I'd enjoyed for years - this is the "newer model." It is nothing like the shaker it replaced - the old one was thick and sturdy, with a nice tight seal to the lid and strainer. This one was thin, cheap plastic that warped after the first use, making it literally unusable due to a loose seal causing complete leakage. Bottom line: The old model was great. This new one is useless. Only saving grace was it was easy to return. Disappointed in OXO: their stuff used to be better.

Does not seal properly when shaking.
