Bartender Shakers – The Essential Tool Behind Every Great Cocktail
A good cocktail starts with the right shaker. Whether you're a seasoned bartender or a home mixology enthusiast, a quality shaker ensures the perfect texture, temperature, and flavor balance. BHS offers a range of professional bartender shakers, suited for high-volume bar use or stylish home bars.
Types of Shakers:
-
Boston Shaker
Two-piece – metal and glass (or metal). Favored by professionals for speed and volume. -
Cobbler Shaker (Classic)
Three-piece – with built-in strainer and cap. Great for beginners and elegant presentation. -
French Shaker
Two-piece – all metal, no glass. Sleek design, increasingly popular among modern bartenders.
How to Choose the Right One?
A professional bartender from Riga recommends:
“If you're making dozens of cocktails a night – go for the Boston shaker. It’s faster, more durable and easy to clean. For slow-paced service with flair – the Cobbler is perfect.”
Tip: Look for a good grip, proper weight and an easy seal that doesn't slip during shaking.
