Cocktail Shakers
The shaker is the heart of every home bar. It chills the drink, combines the ingredients and provides the right dilution. There are three types: the three-piece cobbler shaker (with built-in strainer, ideal for beginners), the two-piece Boston shaker (the pro standard, needs a separate strainer) and the French or Parisian shaker. For starters, a good stainless steel cobbler shaker is the most convenient choice.
What to look for
- Material: double-walled stainless steel (18/8 or 18/10) does not rust and chills better
- Seal: lid and strainer must close cleanly, otherwise it leaks
- Size: 500–700 ml holds two drinks at once
- Build quality: no wobbly lid, no sharp burr on the rim

Frequently asked questions
Cobbler or Boston shaker for beginners?
For starting out the cobbler shaker is easier: strainer and lid are built in, no extra tools needed. The Boston shaker is faster and larger but requires a separate strainer and some practice.
What size should a shaker be?
500–700 ml is ideal. That lets you make one large or two small drinks at once without overflowing.
Can you put a shaker in the dishwasher?
Most stainless steel shakers are dishwasher safe. Hand washing keeps seals and shine looking good longer.
