A cocktail shaker is one of the main items in a bartender's inventory. With its help, a large number of different cocktails are prepared.
There are two types of shakers: European or cobbler and American or Boston. Currently, the second option is popular among bartenders, and experts recommend the first for beginners and non-professional use.
The European shaker consists of three parts: a glass, a filter (strainer) and a lid. High-quality fit of all parts allows you to achieve a tight shaker and uniform mixing of all cocktail ingredients.
The Boston shaker includes a steel and glass glass. In order to pour a cocktail prepared in such a shaker, you will definitely need a strainer - a device that acts as a filter.
