The Boston Shaker is the shaker of choice forĀ most bartenders becauseĀ itās fast andĀ easy andĀ the shaker doesnāt get stuck like a cobbler shaker. The Boston Shaker is a 2-piece solution thatĀ requires an additional strainer (unless you want to do it without the strainer of course).
You will see bartenders using the Boston Shaker andĀ naturally you want to use one atĀ home. Thatās acceptable, plus youāll look kick assĀ shaking with your Boston Shaker soĀ why not learn how to use a Boston Shaker correctly?
The Boston Shaker doesnāt have to be a mystery device thatĀ makes cocktails go from warm to cold. You simply need a pint glass, orĀ tin forĀ the small side (16-18 ounces is fine) andĀ a 28-32 ounce shaker tin forĀ the top.
Shaking with a Boston Shaker generates a seal whenĀ the drink starts to chill down. A 10 second shake with the Boston Shaker is really all you need forĀ most cocktails (outside of egg white based cocktails of course).
Get your Boston Shaker, learn how to use your Boston Shaker andĀ build a better craft cocktail today.
