If you want to channel your inner bartender, these are for you.
There are two types of shakers predominantly used in mixology: Boston shakers and cobbler shakers.
Cobbler shakers are a bit more complex. They come with three pieces: a large shaker tin, a small lid with a built-in strainer, and a cap. In theory, cobbler shakers should make mixing a drink more streamlined since the strainer is already part of the shaker. In practice, the strainers tend not to be fine enough to properly strain the cocktail. Not only do they need extra straining, but they also tend to have a smaller overall capacity compared to Boston shakers.
After about 15 seconds of shaking, the shaker should be almost too cold to touch. Your drink is now done, however, the seal created while shaking might make the tins difficult to pull apart. To break the seal, look at where the two tins are attached. On one side of the small tin, there is more space between the tin walls. Smack the shaker where that gap is, and it should force the seal to break.
When trying to find the best possible shaker, we found the most important factor was how well it sealed. The last thing anyone wants is for the shaker to break apart, spilling the cocktail ingredients on your hands and wasting a good drink—and what affected the seal the most was the material the tins were made of. Some came with one glass shaker and one metal shaker , while others were all metal.The copper Boston shaker we tested consistently had its seal break, as shown here.
