Title: Is this designed for one-time use?
Review: Impressive appearance but completely non-functional. I have been unable to establish the proper angle, force, or twist to remove the strainer the next morning after a single use, never mind the same day. It is as if this was designed to be used with warm liquids; since once I have put on the strainer top for more than 5 seconds with an ice and cocktail mixture, the strainer top will not yield its grip and cannot be reused. Applying hot water does nothing. I have been tempted to try vise-grips but that would damage it. Even the few times I have managed to remove the top for proper cleaning, the same method does not work the next time. Don't bother, spend more money and get one that works. On the good side, with melted water left in it for hours or days it hasn't rusted and it definitely does not leak. I rate reuse higher on the design goals, however.
