A Boston shaker is a 2-piece shaker, where a cobbler shaker has 3 pieces. With the Boston shaker, you simply fill the smaller tin and fit the two cups together to form a tight seal-- then shake! Strain with a Hawthorne and/or fine strainer into your glass.
The Boston shaker has a larger capacity than other types of shakers for shaking multiple drinks at once and provides a tighter seal to prevent leaks.
After filling the smaller tin (the "cheater tin") with your ingredients, place the larger tin on top so they connect, and give the top tin a medium-strength smack to seal them. Then shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds, unless otherwise directed in the recipe.
Our shakers are super easy to clean; just put them in the dishwasher after use, and then make sure to dry them thoroughly before storing.
Soak the shaker in lukewarm water with vinegar or use enzyme dish soap to break down proteins. Since the shaker is 304 stainless steel, residue lifts easily without staining.
While some people do open the shaker a small crack and pour their drink that way, we recommend using a Hawthorne and/or fine strainer for proper filtration.
If you make sure your tins are sealed (give the top one a little smack to make sure it lightly jams into the other tin), then you shouldn't have problems with leaking while shaking your cocktail. To avoid spills, make sure your shaker isn't too full, and use a bar mat to keep it stable.
To open a cocktail shaker, use your dominant hand to hold both tins at once, the smaller tin on top. Put your pointer and middle fingers on the top tin and push as you "smack" the bottom tin from the other side with your non-dominant hand.
This set is made for everyone: beginner, intermediate, and advanced home bartenders as well as professional mixologists. The weighted/weighted option is a little easier to work with if you're new to mixing cocktails, while the weighted/unweighted option is designed for pro bartenders who need more rigidity when shaking all night.
This shaker set is meant for everyday use and is great for making drinks for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, dinner parties, and date nights.
