FAQ

I get it your tools are American made. So what?

In 2009, a country who shall not be named sent thousands of sheets of lead-contaminated drywall that ended up in American homes and made people sick. This same country is now producing damn near 99.9% of the barware that you see in homes and bars. We think this is a problem.

So why C&D?

The materials for our tools are sourced in the United States and then sent to American manufacturers to be made into the tools you can purchase on our website. Our partners in this endeavor are steel shops with over 40 years of experience whose care, attention to detail, and commitment to quality ensure that our products are not only safe, but built to last a life time.

Where exactly ARE your tools made?

Our Boston shakers are produced by a company in the mid-West with 60+ years of experience forming stainless steel parts. Our t-shirts are also made in the US from 50% US-grown and harvested cotton and 50% recycled RPET.  

What is your barware made from?

Freedom. All our tools are made of Freedom.

Okay, but really, they're made of rustproof #304 Stainless steel. It's food safe, durable as hell, and has a matte finish that will stand the test of time.
Where are the rest of your bar tools? 
They're coming! We're working daily with our engineers and steel shop to get them into production. If there's something in particular that you'd like to see, please let us know!

How do I clean my shaker ?
You shaker is made of #304 stainless steel, which - with the right care - will never rust due to a process called passivation.

To clean, it's simple; use lukewarm water, soap, and a soft sponge or cloth (but never a steel pad). Scrub, and dry it off.

Had a rough night of cocktails and left your shaker out with gross, hard-to-clean, sticky residue?? No worries. Just soak it in warm water for 3-5 minutes, then wash it off. We don't recommend soaking the shaker for long periods of time.
