Frequently Asked Questions about Cocktail Shakers

What is the difference between a Boston shaker and a Cobble shaker?

Boston shakers consist of two parts, a large metal container and a smaller metal container. Cobble shakers are a three-piece metal construction, and are easier to use for those who prefer a more elegant design, the lid has a strainer which simplifies handling as you do not need to buy a cocktail strainer.

How to use a cocktail shaker?

Fill the shaker with ingredients and ice, secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. Then strain the drink into a glass.

Which shaker is best for beginners?

A cobble shaker is usually the easiest to use for a beginner as it has a simple construction and does not require more parts to mix simpler drinks.

Can I use a shaker for all types of drinks?


Yes, but some drinks that do not contain ice, such as some cocktails, should be mixed with a straw glass instead of a shaker.

How do I clean my shaker?

To clean your shaker, rinse it immediately after use with warm water and dish soap. If there is dried residue, you can use a cleaning brush to get to hard-to-reach areas.

What makes a shaker so important for cocktails?

A shaker helps mix the ingredients quickly and efficiently, especially when they need to be mixed with ice, which makes the drink cold and perfectly mixed.

Are there shakers with a built-in strainer?

Yes, some shakers have a built-in strainer, like our Cobble shaker, but most Boston shakers require a separate strainer to separate ice from the drink.

How much can a shaker hold?


Most cocktail shakers hold between 500 ml and 800 ml, which is enough to mix 1–2 drinks at a time.

Can I use a shaker for drinks other than cocktails?

Absolutely! You can use a shaker to mix smoothies, iced coffee or protein shakes.
