Cocktail Shakers

Cocktail Shakers are essential bar tools for shaking spirits, mixers and ice into perfectly chilled, well-balanced drinks. This range covers Boston shakers, tin on tin sets and classic three piece shakers in a choice of sizes and finishes. Designed for commercial use, they support fast, consistent service in bars, restaurants, pubs, nightclubs and mobile cocktail units. Durable stainless steel construction ensures reliable sealing, clean temperature control and professional presentation at the bar.

• Wide choice of Boston shakers, tin on tin sets and three piece cocktail shakers for every style of service.
• Stainless steel and chrome nickel steel bodies for strength, hygiene and rapid chilling of cocktails.
• Options from compact mini shakers to larger capacities for multi-serve and high volume venues.
• Classic polished, copper, gun metal, black and coloured finishes to match your bar design.
• Shakers designed for quick separation, smooth pouring and compatibility with standard strainers.
• Ideal for professional cocktail bars, hotel lounges, event caterers and mobile bar setups.

How to choose the right Cocktail Shakers

• Match shaker style to service speed: Boston and tin on tin shakers suit high volume bars, while three piece shakers work well for lower volume or signature cocktails.
• Select capacity based on your menu, choosing larger tins for multi-serve drinks and smaller options for single classic cocktails.
• Consider material and finish, from classic polished stainless steel to copper, gun metal or coloured coatings to complement your bar theme.
• Check compatibility with your existing mixing glasses, strainers and jiggers for a smooth workflow behind the bar.
• Think about staff experience levels, opting for easy to handle designs with reliable seals for busy or mixed skill teams.
• For mobile bars and events, prioritise durable, stackable shakers that pack and transport easily between sites.

Care and maintenance

• Rinse shakers immediately after use to remove sticky syrups, fruit pulp and dairy residues before they dry.
• Wash in warm, mild detergent and avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can damage polished or coloured finishes.
• Allow shakers to air dry fully or hand dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and streaks.
• Store tins and lids separately or slightly offset to avoid vacuum locking and make separation easier during service.
• Inspect rims and joints regularly for dents or distortion that could affect sealing and safe shaking.
• For coloured or copper plated shakers, follow manufacturer guidance on polishing and avoid prolonged soaking.
