There are three different types of cocktail shaker: the Boston shaker, the cobbler shaker and French shaker also known as Parisiasan shaker.
Boston shaker:
The Boston shaker is very simple to use. Boston shaker includes thick glass and a large metal tumbler.
How do we use Boston shaker?
At first we put ingredients in to the mixing glass.Than we add ice and at the end we put a metal tumbler on top of the thick glass.
It is recommended to use hawthorn strainer for keeping ice out of the drink when pouring.
The cooling of the ice makes vacuum seal which keeps glasses together. When we finish shaking, we separate the two parts by hitting in the edge of the metal tumbler where it comes in contact with the mixing glass.
Cobbler shaker:
Most people start shaking by using cobbler shaker because it is very easy to fit the parts together and use, you simply adds ingredients, covers, shakes and pours. You can sees in many homes and bars. This type of shaker is not often used in crowded bars, because of the small built-in strainer.
French shaker:
is made by 2 pieces with only one opening, very similar to cobbler shaker but without built-in strainer. With french shaker we can easy make drinks, that contains ice-cream…
Quick preparation with Boston shaker:
- First – cool a serving glass with ice water or ice cubes. When the serving glass is cooled, discard the ice cubes or water.
- Fill the glass 2/3 to 3/4 of ice and put spices into it. Then pour all this with selected blend.
- When mixture is ready – turn the tumbler and put it on the top of the mixing glass. Pay attention to push strong to close a mixing glass with the tumbler! The mixing glass and the ice will create a vacuum. This will help to stick the seal between the containers.
- Now shake cocktail shaker with both hands over your shoulder.
- After shaking, hold a mixing glass with your left hand if you are right-handed. So if you are left-handed it will probably be easier for you to hold it with your right hand. Continuing with instructions for right-handed – remove the mixing tumbler with your right hand. Sometimes you will have to gently push the outer edge of the tumbler with your hand to break the seal.
- After doing all that, the only thing you need to do is to place a strainer over the top of the mixing glass and pour the shaken cocktail into our chilled glass.
