Hexclad, Still G.I.N. Unveil First-Ever Collaboration, Bringing Gordon Ramsay, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg Together For A Next-Gen Cocktail Shaker
Three Legends Unite: HexClad and Still G.I.N. Drop Game-Changing Cocktail Shaker
When Gordon Ramsay Meets Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, Magic Happens
In a collaboration that nobody predicted but everyone’s talking about, HexClad and Still G.I.N. by Dre and Snoop just dropped something special: a cocktail shaker that’s equal parts precision engineering and cultural statement.
This isn’t just another bar tool. It’s the first time Gordon Ramsay, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg have joined forces, bringing together HexClad’s revolutionary cookware expertise with Still G.I.N.’s modern approach to premium spirits. The result? A next-gen cocktail shaker that’s as functional as it is iconic.
Design That Demands Attention
The HexClad x Still G.I.N. Cocktail Shaker was crafted by celebrated industrial designer Ini Archibong, who pulled inspiration from two distinct visual languages: the striking geometry of the Still G.I.N. bottle and HexClad’s signature hexagon pattern. The fusion creates something modern, sculptural, and unmistakably premium.
But this isn’t just about looks. The shaker features:
- Double-wall, vacuum-insulated stainless steel that keeps your cocktails ice-cold without dilution
- Hex-textured exterior for a luxe grip and visual edge
- Discreet measurement markers inside the cap for precision pours every time
It’s the kind of piece that elevates your home bar the moment it lands on the counter.
Where Innovation Meets Culture
“This collaboration bridges innovation, culture, and craftsmanship in a way that feels like a true expression of both brands,” said Danny Winer, HexClad CEO and Co-Founder. “Gordon, Dre, and Snoop each set their own bar for excellence, and bringing their worlds together through this product is something we’re incredibly proud of.”
Patrick Halbert, CEO of By Dre and Snoop, echoed that sentiment: “What connects Still G.I.N. and HexClad is a commitment to design, innovation, and products that actually perform. We built our gin to be supremely mixable, whether you’re making classic gin cocktails or using it in something unexpected. This shaker captures that same versatility and attention to detail.”
The Campaign: Cooking Meets Beats
To launch the collaboration, Gordon Ramsay and Dr. Dre will star in a dynamic commercial spot created by KODE MEDIA and directed by Peter Franklyn Banks. The ad draws clever parallels between culinary craft and musical artistry, blending humor with the shared ethos of both brands: rebellion, innovation, and excellence.
Get Yours Before They’re Gone
Available exclusively at HexClad.com in both Gold and Chrome finishes for $99, the HexClad x Still G.I.N. Cocktail Shaker is now shipping to the US, Canada, UK, Germany, and Australia. Just in time for the holidays, this is the gift that’ll make any home bartender’s season.
Whether you’re shaking up a classic gin martini or experimenting with modern cocktail creations, this shaker is engineered to perform while carrying the energy of three cultural icons who’ve never settled for ordinary.
Still G.I.N

For a refreshing option, try a vibrant Watermelon Agua Fresca that combines the natural sweetness of fresh watermelon with the irresistible kick of Tajín’s Chamoy Sauce and a rim of its Clásico Seasoning for a craveable finish.
