Integral to any home bar, these are the cocktail shakers our drinks expert swears by
Are cocktail shakers worth it?
You already know our answer to this. Cocktail shakers are indispensable when it comes to combining ingredients with different textures . With a simple shake, you create a mélange of complex flavours, and recreate that all-important foamy top by aerating the mixture for sours and fizzes. Shaking over ice also chills your mix without over diluting or dialling down the cocktail’s character. For this reason, we always recommend chilling your glasses down for 30 minutes in the freezer prior to pouring.Preferred by professionals, the Boston shaker is a set of mixing tins that create a seal when placed together.
We’ve handpicked the best-performing cocktail shakers for your bar cart. Each was assessed for its durability, aesthetics and, most importantly, ability to create a smooth cocktail at the perfect sipping temperature.
