The shaker is almost a representative tool for cocktails, but not all cocktails need a shaker. Cocktails that need to be shaken usually include eggs, cream, liqueur, sweet juice, etc. Usually, raw milk liqueurs, sweet juices, etc. with lower density need to be shaken for about 15 seconds, while eggs, cream, etc. need to be shaken for about 25 seconds. There are three types of shakers: (1) Boston Shaker: also known as American shaker. Divided into two parts, a metal base and a glass or plastic blending cup. The blender cup can be inserted into the bottom of the pot to shake. The Boston shaker needs a strainer to filter the wine, and some bartenders like to gently open the bottom of the pot and the blending glass after shaking, and use the gap between the two to filter the wine. The Boston Shaker has a much larger capacity than a traditional English shaker, making it suitable for making large quantities of the same cocktail. Some Boston shakers also have recipe scales for common cocktails on their blending glasses, so that you can pour the raw liquor directly into the jug to save time. (2) French Shaker: Divided into two parts, a metal body and a metal lid. Therefore, the French shaker also needs a strainer to filter the wine. (3) Cobbler Shaker: It is divided into three parts, the body, the cap with the filter and a lid. Sometimes the lid can also be used to measure spirits, etc.
