How should I clean the cocktail shaker?

Is the copper plating durable?
The shaker features a lacquered copper plating for protection and shine. With proper care (hand washing, immediate drying), it is designed for longevity. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives.
What is the capacity of the shaker?
The product description does not specify the exact capacity, but its design suggests it is suitable for standard cocktail recipes (typically 16-24 oz).
Can I put this in the dishwasher?

Troubleshooting
Shaker cap is difficult to open or close
Ensure there are no ice shards or liquid residue trapped between the cap and the shaker body. Rinse both parts under warm water and dry thoroughly before reassembling.
Cocktail is not well-chilled or diluted
Ensure you are using sufficient ice and shaking vigorously for the appropriate duration (typically 15-20 seconds). Check that the shaker is sealed properly to prevent leaks.
Copper finish appears dull or tarnished
This may indicate the lacquer has been compromised or is developing a patina. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid polishing compounds, as they can remove the plating. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Spirit measure is inaccurate
Ensure you are filling the measure to the brim and leveling off any excess. Calibrate by measuring standard quantities (e.g., 1 oz, 1.5 oz) with a separate jigger to confirm accuracy.
