It is also easily available to buy and comes in many styles. Adding this basic tool to your home bar will take your drinks to the next level. Shakers are typically made of stainless steel and have a lid that closes tightly. A sealed container like this is great for shaking together ingredients while chilling them at the same time. The result is a nicely frosty, well-mixed drink, whether you&#8217;re using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyyvodka.com\/?utm_source=referral&utm_medium=website\">SKYY Vodka<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aperol.com\/?utm_source=referral&utm_medium=website\">Aperol<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campari.com\/?utm_source=referral&utm_medium=website\">Campari<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandmarnier.com\/?utm_source=referral&utm_medium=website\">Grand Marnier<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/appletonestate.com\/?utm_source=referral&utm_medium=website\">Appleton Estate Rum<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read next:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/test.themixer.com\/en-us\/learn\/why-is-it-called-a-cocktail\/\">Why on Earth is it Called a Cocktail, Though?<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Different types of cocktail shakers<\/h2>\n<p>There are two mainstream shakers out there: the Boston shaker and the Cobbler shaker. Bartenders favor the Boston shaker, which is effectively two vessels that fit in one another. This gives it a large mixing capacity. It\u2019s perfect for using behind a busy bar when making speedy drinks. The Cobbler shaker, on the other hand, is much easier to use. This is why most people prefer to use this one at home since you don&#8217;t really need to mix up large batches of drinks in one go.<\/p>\n<h3>Cobbler Shaker<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2656 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/test.themixer.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Cobbler-Shaker-2-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"A stylish Cobbler shaker set on a rustic wooden surface, ready for cocktail making.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.themixer.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Cobbler-Shaker-2-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/test.themixer.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Cobbler-Shaker-2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/test.themixer.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Cobbler-Shaker-2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/test.themixer.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Cobbler-Shaker-2-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/test.themixer.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Cobbler-Shaker-2-1480x740.jpg 1480w, https:\/\/test.themixer.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Cobbler-Shaker-2-760x380.jpg 760w, https:\/\/test.themixer.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Cobbler-Shaker-2.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A Cobbler cocktail shaker is made up of three parts: the jug or tin, the built-in strainer, and the top or cap.

It\u2019s really easy! This simple piece of kit is easy to get used to and you will taste the benefits instantly. A shaker aerates your drink and dilutes by with a small amount. Water melting off the ice gives a drink a smoother taste. Ingredients like pineapple or orange juice rely on a good shake to give drinks that essential foamy texture, as well as cream or <a href=\"https:\/\/test.themixer.com\/en-us\/learn\/how-to-use-egg-whites-cocktails\/\">egg whites<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adding your ingredients.<\/strong> Start by tipping all your ingredients into the jug of your shaker, as per recipe instructions. Then add a good measure of ice. The rule of thumb is to fill up the jug to three-quarters full.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The shake. <\/strong><i>C<\/i>lose the cap with the strainer firmly in place, if you\u2019re using a Cobbler. With one hand gripping the base of the jug, secure the cap with the other, and shake vigorously for about 15-30 seconds. Bear in mind that a cocktail that\u2019s been properly shaken gets the addition of about 1\/2 ounce of water. This is an important dilution of what could otherwise be an overly strong cocktail.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The straining.<\/strong>\u00a0Remove the cap and strain the liquid into your glass. If you are using a Boston shaker, place the Hawthorne strainer firmly into the jug pressing down with your thumb to secure it. Then strain your cocktail mix through it to remove ice, pips and other bits from your drink, and serve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TOP TIP<\/strong>: Use the best ice you can lay your hands on!
