The perfect shaken martini, every time — four at once.

The secret is in the cap. A stainless-steel ice breaker sits inside the strainer, and every shake drives the ice into it and against the walls. The ice fractures, the drink drops to temperature in seconds, and it pours out bitingly cold with a fine veil of ice crystals across the top — the mark of a properly shaken martini. The chunks stay behind the strainer.

Why it's different

  • Ice breaker built into the cap. Crushes the ice while you shake, for a faster, colder chill than a standard shaker can manage.
  • 32 oz — four martinis in one shake. Serve the whole table at once instead of shaking in rounds while the first drinks warm up.
  • Twist the top to pour. No stuck lid to prise off with cold, wet hands, and no separate strainer to hold with your thumb.
  • Copper and stainless steel, with a grip sleeve. The rubber sleeve insulates your hand from the icy shaker and stops it slipping mid-shake.

How to use it

  1. Fill two-thirds with ice, then add your gin or vodka and vermouth.
  2. Close the cap and shake hard for 10–15 seconds.
  3. Twist the top and pour straight into chilled glasses.

Hand wash. Part of the Nicholas Collection, from the family that makes Cork Pops in Novato, California.

A family business that still makes the thing it invented.
Est. 1961

A family business that still makes the thing it invented.

It started in a workshop in 1961. Three generations later the family still holds the patent, still runs the line in Novato, California, and still packs the cartridges that go in the box.

That is why the refills never disappear, why an opener bought years ago still takes a standard cartridge, and why the thing feels like it was made by someone who cared.
