Cocktail shaker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cocktail shaker is a device used to mix beverages (usually alcoholic) by shaking.
A shaken cocktail is made by putting the desired ingredients (typically fruit juices, syrups, liqueurs and ice cubes) in the cocktail shaker. Then it is shaken heavily for about 5 seconds. Drinks that are meant to be clear should be stirred and not shaken, as this will result in the drink becoming cloudy.
There are three varieties of cocktail shakers:
- The Boston Shaker: A two-piece shaker consiting of a metal bottom and glass or plastic mixing bowl. A separate strainer is required for this type shaker if crushed ice is used.
- The French Shaker: A two-piece shaker consisting of a metal bottom and a metal cap. It is the least widely known of the three types of shakers. A strainer is always required for this type of shaker.
- The Cobbler Shaker: A three-piece cocktail shaker that has tapers at the top and ends with a built-in strainer and includes a cap. The cap can often be used as a measure for spirits or other liquids.
