Cocora cocktail gift set in the test 2024

The cocktail gift set comes in very attractive and sustainable packaging. The outer brown cardboard box is complemented by a black cardboard sleeve on which all the important information about the product is printed in an attractive design. The manufacturer also offers a clever addition in the form of the included greetings card, which can be attached from the outside using 4 pronounced corners. When we open the box, we see a black cardboard inlay that protects the individual components of the set from damage. The precise arrangement and black design give the product a high-quality impression. All the parts specified by the manufacturer reached us in perfect condition, so we can’t find any points of criticism at first glance.

After unpacking, the individual parts of the set lie in front of us on the worktop as shown in the picture. Both the glasses and the metal parts look and feel flawlessly manufactured. No unevenness or manufacturing defects can be detected. Even when subjected to improper loads, the metal parts hold up, ensuring absolutely satisfactory stability for the intended purpose. The glasses also look high-quality, but should be handled with care for obvious reasons.
Overall, the design of the set looks rather classic or timeless, which is emphasized by the choice of colour (stainless steel). However, the manufacturer also offers other variants in black, rose or gold for an alternative look.
The manufacturer’s commitment to sustainability deserves special mention. To offset the emissions caused by production, a tree is planted for each set with certified partner Regreener.

For our practical test, we consulted the recipe book provided, obtained the necessary ingredients and then mixed them several times. The appealing and high-quality design of the product and packaging not only impressed us, but also our guests. With this product, the manufacturer provides a ready-made gift for almost any occasion thanks to the pretty packaging with greetings card.
As expected, the individual parts withstood our repeated use without any restrictions. Unfortunately, our one-off test does not allow us to evaluate long-term performance over a large number of cleaning cycles.
However, we have some criticism regarding the scope of delivery of the set. Although the manufacturer’s cocktail set provides a sufficient range for most cocktails (shaker, measuring cup, spoon), competitor products offer far more choice. As the set is labeled “Martini Cocktail Shaker Set”, it would be possible to overlook the selection of accessories. In this case, however, tapered (conical) glasses would be desirable to emphasize the classic look of the set. However, the shape of the glasses included is more like a champagne bowl.
Nevertheless, the enclosed recipe book offered a large selection of different cocktail creations, which makes another cocktail evening almost indispensable and underlines the repeated use of the product.
Subsequent cleaning of the components was possible using a dishwasher, which made the process much easier and ensured greater ease of use.
Overall, we really enjoyed the test. The cocktail gift set impresses in use with its functionality, quality and aesthetics and as a simple and valuable gift for any occasion.
