Types
There are two common types of cocktail shakers: the Boston shaker and the cobbler shaker.The Boston shaker has a very basic structure, made up of two tall cups that fit tightly together. The cups can usually made of stainless steel but the second cup can also be made glass or plastic. The drink can be poured out of the small space between the cups to strain it or a separate strainer can be used.
Be careful when handling a Boston shaker. Don't try and crack the seal on the edge of a counter or other hard edge. This could break the glass cup and destroy the shaker. Instead lightly tap it with the palm of your hand right where the two cups touch.
The cobbler or three piece shaker consists of a cup, a cover and a cap. The cover has a built-in strainer and the cap can be used for measuring liquids. The cobbler shaker takes longer to strain out drinks and is not commonly used by bartenders.
