FR A cocktail shaker is an essential tool for any bartender or cocktail enthusiast. It is used to mix and chill ingredients for a wide range of cocktails, from classic martinis to trendy margaritas. Cocktail shakers come in various types and designs, each with its own unique features and benefits. By using a cocktail shaker, you can create perfectly blended and chilled cocktails that are sure to impress your guests.
The article ‘Types of Cocktail Shakers‘ explains the different types of cocktail shakers. Now let’s take a look at how different types of cocktail shakers are used:
How to use the Cobbler Shaker
Step1: Prepare your cocktail recipe
Pour the ingredients into the mixing tin of the shaker.
Step2: Add ice to the mixing tin
The number of ice cubes depends on the recipe.
Step3: Seal the shaker
Place the lid with strainer on top of the mixing tin, then cover the small lid over the strainer.
Tap it with the heel of your hand to seal it. Make sure it’s sealed well.
Step4: Hold the shaker over your shoulder
Holding it over your shoulder ensures that if the lid comes off, your guests won’t get sprayed.
Step5: Shake the drink
Shake until water begins to condense on the outside of the shaker. The condensation will tell you that your drink is sufficiently chilled.
Step6: Enjoy your cocktail!
Remove the small lid and pour the drink through the strainer into your chilled serving glass.
