Mainly made of metal, cocktail shakers are cylinder-shaped containers used to mix alcoholic beverages with other drinks and ice. The primary purpose of a cocktail shaker is to make the beverage cold as it is being shaken. Here are the four types of shakers to choose from: 1. Boston Shaker

Mostly used by professionals, the Boston shaker comes in two parts: a mixing glass and a larger tin container. The two glasses perfectly fit to have an airtight seal when mixing, preventing your cocktail from spilling. As practical and durable as this shaker is, it also requires great skill, especially when separating the two glasses.

2. Tin on tin

This is very similar to the Boston shaker because it also comes with two glass-like containers, only that they both are made of tin, hence the name. The tin on tin is easier to use than a glass on tin shaker because the container won’t crack when you separate them. This shaker is advised to be used when mixing egg whites in your cocktail.

And because both containers are made of tin, the drink will cool much faster, providing a better seal. The only downside is that you won’t have a visual of the drinks that you’re mixing as a Boston shaker would.

3. Cobbler

The cobbler contains three parts: a large shaking tin, a tightly fitted top with a built-in strainer, and a cap to cover the top. It may be less noisy, but it still has cons.

For instance, when a cocktail is shaken, the lid can contract, making it sticky and difficult to remove. And while it already has a strainer, it is not adjustable and not very fine, so your cocktail can still have pulp or ice traces.

But still, it is an excellent shaker to use, especially when you’re a beginner and want to practice your mixing skills. As a treat, the cap measures exactly 1 ounce, so when you misplace your jigger, you can use this handy feature instead.

4. Parisian

Also called the French shaker, this one also has two compartments: a metal bottom container and a metal cap. The Parisian shaker has the most appealing design, and it even comes in sophisticated colors. However, it doesn’t have a built-in strainer like the cobbler so you need to have a separate strainer around your kitchen.

It also has excellent thermal conductivity as it is made of metal. However, despite its design and other pros, it is not as effective as the Boston shaker.

COCKTAIL STRAINERS

Strainers are used to pour over the drinks into the glass to catch any unwanted particles such as pulp or tiny ice pieces. It ensures that the cocktail is smooth all the time. Like the shaker, strainers also come in different types.

Most cocktail shakers don’t have built-in strainers, so they have to be purchased separately.

5. Hawthorne Strainer

Perhaps the most widely-used strainer, the Hawthorne strainer is also the most complicated looking. It contains a metal disc with perforated holes and an attached handle, stabilizing prongs to keep it in place on top of a shaker tin or glass, and a metal spring aligned on the disc that catches any solid particles when pouring a drink.

This strainer complements the Boston shaker because the metal spring perfectly fits the rim of the tin or glass due to its adjustable feature. It comes in different styles, but they all have the necessary parts.

However, this strainer can be challenging to clean because of the spring and is easily damaged when not used or stored correctly.
