A strainer is a necessary addition to your cocktail shaker.The strainer can attach to your cocktail mixer so when you pour the contents of the mixer into glasses, it’ll catch anything that isn’t liquid.

This product allows you to recreate gourmet touches at home.This smoker produces cold smoke so you can smoke almost anything you fancy. I love smoke Flavour so I also use to smoke food.
