Here is something completely different, a cocktail shaker shaped like a football made of stainless steel. The Football Cocktail Shaker, by StoneCask, is a well-crafted cocktail shaker that holds 24-ounces of fluid, quite enough to create a cocktail for one or two people. There is a definite niche theme in the concept of a football cocktail shaker, but it still fills a big niche for those football fans.

Football often comes with parties and drinking so the concept of bringing a specialized shaker to the game isn’t too surprising. Perhaps it’s the “lucky shaker” that, when it shows up your team wins. You never know what you’ll find when you start making creative cocktails with the stainless steel football shaker, we’ve seen stranger things happen.

Key features of this shaker include a 4-piece designed bar tool made of stainless steel that still is recommended as a hand-wash instrument. The pieces hold together great under normal temperatures and highly chilled temperatures. The lid pops off with little effort yet remains on throughout an aggressive shake thanks to the rubber seal around both lid pieces.

The strainer section, one of our big concerns, turned out to work perfectly fine under a full cocktail pour. It does pour slower than some 3-piece cobbler shakers yet the flow is still fast enough and consistent enough not to spill. The whole to fill the shaker with ice is a bit small but can manage to house even the aggressive square ice from our Tovolo Perfect Ice tray so it should work for most home ice that you’d use in a cocktail shaker.

The device is fully stainless steel so you’ll have no place to hold it that won’t freeze your hand as you shake, but as long as you’re willing to get some cold hands you’ll pull through. All-in-all, a solidly designed football themed cocktail shaker that’s both practical and fits as a good show piece. Just don’t loose the football stand or you’ll have a challenging time reloading up your next cocktail!

The pieces are fairly small so pay attention to where you put them and always re-build it before putting it away. This isn’t a cheap device, with an MSRP of USD $29.99, chalk that up to a unique design that fits a niche. Football fans will have a great time with the football cocktail shaker so consider it for a fun holiday gift. The price may be a bit too much for a “Naughty Santa” or “Yankee Swap” but will work great for your football family fanatics.
