Our improved cobbler shaker combines smart design and professional durability.
Dual silicone gaskets prevent leaks and stuck lids, while the built-in measuring cap keeps your bar setup simple.
Just add ingredients, shake, and pour.
Both styles make great cocktails - it just depends on your preference:
Cobbler shakers are an all-in-one option with a built-in strainer and measuring cap.
Boston shakers are the industry standard behind professional bars, preferred for speed and versatility.
This is totally normal. When you shake a drink, the rapid cooling from the ice makes the parts contract into each other and seal shut. For a Boston shaker, find that frosty line and hit it with one palm while holding with your other hand. I know, I know. It’s hard to explain, so we’ve made a video that you can find here. If that doesn’t work, try running warm water over the outside of the metal for a few seconds or tapping gently around the seal with your palm. A little patience (and warmth) usually does the trick.
For a non-A Bar Above cobbler shaker… Honestly, that’s a tough one (literally), which is the reason we generally dislike cobblers. (The shakers, not the people. They’re rad.) But our cobbler shaker is designed with specialty gaskets that will prevent your shaker from freezing shut in the first place, so you don’t even have to worry about it.
Absolutely! Our cobbler shaker is made from professional-grade stainless steel and is 100% dishwasher-safe. That said, if you want to keep it looking pristine for years to come, handwashing and drying it promptly can help prevent water spots or wear over time.
This cobbler set is made for everyone: beginner, intermediate, and advanced home bartenders as well as professional mixologists.
For most drinks, the built-in strainer on our cobbler shaker is all you need. It does a great job filtering out ice and larger ingredients, but if you’re working with fresh herbs, egg whites, or muddled fruit, use a separate fine mesh strainer. A Hawthorne strainer is more relevant when you’re using a Boston shaker and isn't required for a cobbler.
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.
Mocktails? Heck yeah! The cobbler shaker is just as useful for mocktails, iced coffees, fresh juices as it is for alcoholic cocktails. It’s built to mix liquids thoroughly and strain out ice or solids, whether you're using spirits or skipping them entirely. As far as protein shakes, this shaker is designed for thinner liquids and might not break up all the protein powder efficiently unless you shake it really hard. But the strainer lid should filter out anything… uh, chunky. (Gross.) Anyway, it’s not specifically designed for thicker liquids but will get the job done.
A cobbler shaker features a built-in strainer and cap, making it an all-in-one cocktail shaker that's popular with beginners and home bartenders.
A Boston shaker consists of two separate pieces and requires a separate strainer, making it the preferred choice of most professional bartenders.
A Parisian shaker combines the elegant shape of a cobbler shaker with the two-piece design of a Boston shaker, but it does not include a built-in strainer.
