Here are the four common types of cocktail shakers: Boston Shaker Consists of two parts—typically a large metal tin and a smaller tin or glass. Usage: Commonly used by professional bartenders for its quick assembly and disassembly. One tin is used to shake, and the other seals the shaker. Pros: Easy to use, faster for shaking, larger capacity. Cons: Requires a separate strainer (usually a Hawthorne strainer). Cobbler Shaker (3-Piece Shaker) It has three parts: a metal tin, a built-in strainer, and a cap that doubles as a measuring cup. Usage: Commonly used by home bartenders for its convenience. Pros: Includes a built-in strainer, so there is no need for separate strainers. Cons: It can be harder to separate after shaking (due to a tight seal), and sometimes the built-in strainer isn’t as efficient. French Shaker (Parisian Shaker)
