There are two main types of shakers: the cobbler shaker and the Boston shaker, that is, the European (British) shaker and the American shaker (Boston shaker). Japanese-style bartending is based on British-style bartending, so there is actually no such category as Japanese-style bartending and Japanese-style bartending pots, (in the world). In addition to these two, there are French shakers, penguins, bullets, zeppelins and more.
Ok, now for the two main ones:
European (British) style shaker.
The more common shaker in bars, the three-body style, is relatively small and easy to operate. Digression It is usually recommended to add the ingredients and shake until the hip flask is frosted, 15s-20s. Because of the filter layer, the pouring speed will be relatively slow, which is also one of the main differences from the Boston pot.
Compared with the Boston pot, the capacity is the blemish of the British shaker, and it is not easy to clean and reuse, which is a limitation for bars that need to produce quickly. (Business is so good, buy a few)
boston pot
Also known as American shaker. It consists of a shaker and a glass that is as long as the jug. After shaking, an ice filter is usually used to pour the wine out. The difference between a Boston jug and an English shaker is usually that it is large and fast. So when you need to produce quickly, such as three or four glasses of wine at a time, you will use a Boston pot. In addition, it is also used when fresh fruit is used to make wine, because of its large capacity. As for the impact on the wine, I personally feel that because more air enters, the shaken wine is softer.
When shaking a Boston jug, make sure the glass section is always on the high end.
In addition to matching glasses, many bartenders will use other cups that fit the pot instead, so don’t panic when you see them.
(The material of the jug also affects the cocktail, most of which are made of aluminum.)
Other shakers:
pitcher shaker pitcher is the meaning of the jar. The capacity is large, you can directly make a can and put it on the table of the guests, and distribute it to everyone. It is more difficult to shake handsome.
The french shaker has two parts, similar to the principle of the Boston pot.
