Frequently Asked Questions
What Cocktail Shakers & Strainers does a bar actually need?
Most bars run a cobbler shaker with a built-in strainer for all-in-one mixing, plus a larger Boston tin for volume. A separate strainer helps with the Boston style. Match Cocktail Shakers & Strainers to your drink volume.
How do cobbler and Boston Cocktail Shakers & Strainers differ?
A cobbler is a three-piece set with cup, built-in strainer, and cap, ideal for simple drinks. A Boston shaker is a larger tin that needs a separate strainer but pours faster. Choose Cocktail Shakers & Strainers by your bar's pace.
Which Cocktail Shakers & Strainers suit a high-volume cocktail bar?
A 28-ounce Boston tin handles double batches and back-to-back tickets, especially one with a PVC-gripped exterior for cold, wet hands. Smaller cobblers suit lighter service. Pick Cocktail Shakers & Strainers by output.
Why choose a three-piece Cocktail Shakers & Strainers set?
An all-in-one 16-ounce cobbler puts cup, strainer, and cap in one tool, so there's less to grab mid-service. It suits smaller programs and quick builds. Three-piece Cocktail Shakers & Strainers keep the station simple.
Does every set of Cocktail Shakers & Strainers include a strainer?
Not always, since cobbler shakers have a built-in strainer but Boston tins need a separate Hawthorne or julep strainer. Check before buying so you're not caught short. Confirm your Cocktail Shakers & Strainers include the straining you need.
Are stainless Cocktail Shakers & Strainers better than plastic?
For durability and chilling, yes, stainless resists denting, won't hold flavours, and gets cold fast for a proper shake. Plastic suits budget use. Choose stainless Cocktail Shakers & Strainers for a working bar, straining clean into martini glasses.
Can Cocktail Shakers & Strainers complete a cocktail kit?
Yes. Paired with a bar spoon and jigger, a shaker and strainer cover shaken and stirred drinks alike. Buy them as a set for consistency. Add bar spoons to your Cocktail Shakers & Strainers for a full kit.
