Shaker & Spoon Reviews

I wasn’t sure at first, and I almost thought it was just okay, but the more I used it, the more I felt like it was worth the price overall

The packaging was okay, I guess, but the box arrived dented and looked kind of messy. Luckily the bottles inside were fine. I reached out and got one of those canned apology responses, which just made it feel like they didn’t really care

My box showed up later than I was hoping (which was a little annoying), but once it finally arrived, everything was in good shape and there were no issues with the order.

I’d never made cocktails before, so I was a little unsure going in, but the steps were SO easy to follow. It felt simple and not intimidating at all.

I was just trying to browse some boxes, which apparently was a bold request. The pages loaded slowly, and the menus on my phone were confusing enough that I started questioning my life choices. Checkout also took a few tries, because of course it did. The products actually look nice, but the site made the whole thing way harder than it needed to be.

I picked this up mostly because the ingredients looked really different from what I usually go for. After trying it, I’m glad I did, it was fun to taste something new instead of the same usual flavors. Definitely a cool option if you like experimenting a bit.

I had a good time trying out some new cocktails, and the recipe cards were easy to follow. A couple of the syrups and mixers were really tasty, but some of them felt a little random or just too sweet for me. Shipping was fine, nothing amazing but no problems either. Its a fun box to get once in a while, but I dont think Id keep it as a monthly thing...

I got a Shaker & Spoon box for my brother’s birthday, he really liked it. It just felt, you know, a little more fun and personal than sending a random bottle or another gift card, and he said the recipes were easy to follow.

It’s a nice option if you’re not totally sure what someone’s favorite drink is, but they’re into making cocktails at home. Shipping was fine too, so yeah, I’d definitely gift it again.

I ordered from shakerandspoon.com and, from what I could tell, the site was simple enough to use. Checkout went through fine, but after that I didn’t really feel like I had a clear idea of what was happening. Maybe I missed an update somewhere, but I kept checking my email because the shipping info seemed to come later than I expected. It wasn’t a bad experience or anything, just a little more waiting and guessing than I’d prefer. Overall, it was okay, but I think the post-order updates could be smoother.

I like the idea of the curation, and there have definitely been boxes where I thought, okay, this is actually fun. I’ve tried drinks I probably never would’ve grabbed on my own, which is kind of the whole point, I guess.

That said, it’s been a little hit or miss for my taste. A couple of times the drinks felt more similar than I expected, or the theme didn’t quite come through the way I thought it would. Maybe I just had a different idea in my head, but it left me a bit underwhelmed.
I’d still consider ordering again because there’s enough I’ve liked to keep me curious. I just wish the boxes had a bit more variety and balance overall, unless I’m being too picky about it.

I don’t know, maybe I just caught them at a bad time, but some of the ingredients didn’t seem very fresh, and the drinks tasted a little off to me. I was kind of expecting better, so it was a bit disappointing...

I was excited to open my Shaker & Spoon box, but the first impression kind of let me down. The box looked like it had been tossed together, and that immediately made me question the care that went into it.

The items inside were useful, and nothing seemed totally unusable, but everything had shifted around and felt messy instead of nicely packed. It just didn’t have that fun, polished unboxing experience I was expecting.

For the price, I really thought it would feel more put together. It wasn’t a complete disaster, but it definitely made me lose some trust in the brand, because presentation matters when you’re paying for something that’s supposed to feel special

I really like the idea of these boxes, and I wanted to be excited about picking things out. But every time I checked, a bunch of the items I actually wanted were out of stock. It makes it hard to plan ahead or feel like I’m really getting to choose what I want. After a while, seeing so many unavailable options just got frustrating. It’s not a terrible experience, but it left me feeling disappointed.

The boxes were fine, nothing amazing but not bad either. The annoying part was trying to cancel. I had to click around the site for a while, and it sort of felt like they made it harder than it needed to be. It took longer than expected, and I was a little worried I might get charged again or something. Overall, not a terrible company, but the canceling part definitely rubbed me the wrong way

I’ll admit I was mostly paying attention to how it was packed when I opened it, and that’s where it really disappointed me. The bottle was just kind of loose in the box with barely any protection, so it didn’t feel secure at all. One of them had leaked a little too, which made everything messy before I even got to use it. For the price, I expected the shipping to be handled with more care. Not the best first impression.

Am I the only one who expected a little more variety? The drinks weren’t bad, but a lot of them felt similar after a while. For the price, I was hoping for more fun, creative mixes instead of options that kind of blended together.

I was hoping to pick up some actual mixology tips, but it felt basic. On top of that, there were too many steps to get through for not much payoff, which got frustrating after a while. Just didn’t feel like I learned much in the end

I really wanted to enjoy this box, but the recipe cards just wore me out. Some of the steps felt like they were in the wrong order, and the measurements weren’t explained well enough for someone like me who’s still learning. I kept having to stop, Google things, reread the card, and try to figure out what they meant. By the end, I was just frustrated and had a messy drink instead of something fun. I’m already kind of burnt out on services that make you do extra work, so for the price, I expected the instructions to be much easier to follow.

I really enjoyed the cocktails here. They tasted great and had a different feel from the stuff I usually make at home. One of them was a little too sweet for me, but from the bartender’s tone, I got the feeling that was kind of the intended vibe. Overall, solid and I’d definitely come back.

I liked the idea of it, but once I got the box I just felt like... for the price, it’s not really worth it. The mixers are fine, but I can find similar ones cheaper at stores near me, so I probably wouldn’t buy it again.
