A Fusion of Technology & Intelligent Design

Making use of proprietary and industry leading automotive
press and polishing technology, Birdy bar tools are the shape
of pure design. Starting with the classic 3-piece shaker, the
Birdy approach imbues confidence and a sense of style while
actually improving the efficiency of this timeless bar tool.
Follow this with a mixing tin that, while luxurious and
revolutionary, is as efficient as it is durable, and you’ll start to
understand why Birdy is changing the way we make drinks.

Erik Lorincz, world-renowned former head bartender at the

Savoy Hotel’s American Bar in London, discovered the
essence of the Birdy Cocktail Shaker in March 2014. Trained by
one of the great masters in Japan and an ambassador of its
acclaimed bar culture, Erik fell in love with the shaker the first
time he held it in his hands. Now, in complete collaboration
with Birdy, Erik has expanded the line to include a double tin,
bar spoons, a jigger and strainers, all crafted to please the eye
and sit comfortably in the hand.

Better Cocktails Start at 0.1 Microns

Decades of experience making precision parts for the automotive
industry serve as the foundation for Birdy’s superiority. Hand-polished
to within 0.2 microns by skilled craftsmen, Birdy Shakers and Mixing
Tins improve efficiency while gently shaving ice to create the maximum
amount of tiny air bubbles that actually improve the way a cocktail
tastes. A vertical grain works with the rounded shoulders of the
Cocktail Shaker to increase the velocity of the ice while minimizing
unnecessary ice damage that can make cocktails watery. The Mixing
Tin is polished to form a horizontal grain that facilitates stirring to blend
and chill drinks faster. This increased efficiency means the same
amount of energy results in a better blended cocktail, with greater
aeration to improve mouth feel.
