Cocktail shakers are essential tools for mixing drinks, and they come in a few main types, each with distinct designs and uses.
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)
