Cocktail Shakers and Accessories Buying Guide

When you want to make an icy cocktail, all you need is a cocktail shaker and a few other accessories. Mixing drinks is a breeze with a cocktail shaker.  

Kinds of Cocktail Shakers

* '''Materials:''' Plastic cocktail shakers and other lightweight options include acrylic shakers. Most of them are in coloured materials and have measurements printed on the exterior. Stainless steel cocktail shakers quickly chill a drink and hence, are preferred mostly. A glass cocktail shaker may have a stainless steel lid and has an advantage of being able to see the contents of the drink as they are mixed.   * '''Styles:''' The strainer is a very essential accessory for cocktails. A normal professional shaker will have two different parts - a metal bottom and either a glass or plastic mixing bowl. Boston cocktail shakers are preferred by professionals. However, you’ll need to have a cocktail strainer separately in this case. A European cocktail shaker generally has a strainer built in.  * '''Shapes and Designs:''' The bullet style cocktail shaker is very popular for mixing martinis. Another interesting shape is the penguin cocktail shaker. Other shapes include the belly shape and the ribbed structure shaker. A host of other exciting designs are available. How about a football cocktail shaker? Want something unique? Go for a gold one such as the Professional Boston Cocktail Shaker Gold (Tin & Glass Set)!   * '''Purpose:''' Get a mini cocktail shaker for your personal use. You’ll need large cocktail shakers, perhaps 30oz, to avoid mixing the same cocktail over and over again. A shaker and glass set is another type you can try out. Flip top cocktail shakers are easy to handle. Other cocktail party sets include all the other accessories you may require when mixing a cocktail.
