This cocktail shaker is used as a yoyo. Fill it with several tasty drinks, some ice, check the liquid level, make it spin down and up and savour your cocktail well shaked.

nice!
krish Says:

looks fun,
maybe you could add some yo-yo aesthetics on it, like flashing lights and “whhheeee” sound.
Congratulations for the render/composition, the cocktail glass looks so real!
iynque Says:

It probably wouldn’t work very well… While the drink is spinning, it isn’t mixing at all, just being forced, motionless, against the walls of the container. The only mixing would occur when the yo-yo stops spinning, meaning you would have to put in a LOT more time and effort than you would simply shaking it.

…it’s neat though.

Alabe Toy Company, the makers of the Magic 8 Ball actually made a Yo-Yo cocktail mixer in the early 50’s. The only reason I know this is that I found one in the storage building of a house I was set to demolish. Fully intact and in its original box with instructions. Never was able to find any info about it on the internet anywhere,as if it never existed….though i sold it on Ebay a few years ago for just under $200!
Xander Says:

That’s kinda cool, but like iynque said, it’s not even mixing the drink. Not that useful, is it.
Ragtime Says:

I once went to a pancake house when I was little and the guy on the griddle did real flippin’ and the exhaust fan was over his head….. I’ll never forget it!
piper Says:

i can see lawsuits coming from this XD
your bartender after a long day, his finger slips a bit and WHAM! shaker goes flying across the bar and hits the sue-happy blonde 3 stools down. that, or the band snaps and the bartender ends up with a face full of green apple cocktail….

Great!

what about its balance
SupaGal! Says:

agree with iynque. Also on the part that it’s neat… I guess it could be a fun marketing product though… you might want to look into that or even maybe add inside some kind of a propeller to mix the liquids while the shaker spins….
