Bar Shakers and Strainers

At the heart of every great bar program and expertly crafted cocktail are the fundamental tools of the trade: the bar shaker and strainer. For any food service establishment, from a high-volume nightclub to an intimate craft cocktail lounge, investing in high-quality shakers and strainers is non-negotiable. This selection of professional barware is designed to ensure consistency, efficiency, and an elevated guest experience with every drink served.

Our collection features the three essential types of cocktail shakers, each suited to different styles and skill levels. The **Boston shaker**, a two-piece set consisting of a large tin and a smaller mixing glass or tin, is the preferred choice of professional bartenders worldwide for its tight seal, large capacity, and ability to chill drinks rapidly. For establishments focused on ease of use and streamlined service, the **Cobbler shaker** is an excellent option. This all-in-one, three-piece tool includes a base, a built-in strainer, and a cap, making it a perfect starting point for new staff. Finally, the elegant **French (or Parisian) shaker** offers a sophisticated two-piece design that combines the graceful curves of a Cobbler with the simplicity of a Boston, adding a touch of class to your bar setup. Crafted from durable stainless steel, these shakers offer superior temperature control and are built to withstand the rigors of a busy service.

Complementing the perfect shake is the perfect strain. A cocktail strainer is crucial for separating ice, herbs, and fruit pulp from the finished drink, ensuring a refined texture and presentation. The workhorse of the industry is the **Hawthorne strainer**, designed with a flexible spring to fit snugly inside a shaker tin, effectively catching ice shards and muddled ingredients. For stirred cocktails like the Martini or Manhattan, the classic **Julep strainer** fits neatly into a mixing glass to hold back ice while pouring. To achieve an impeccably smooth, pulp-free finish in drinks like sours or fizzes, a **fine mesh strainer** is used in a technique called double-straining, catching the finest particles for a velvety mouthfeel.

Equip your bar with the industry-standard shakers and strainers needed to empower your mixologists, streamline your workflow, and consistently produce exceptional cocktails that keep customers coming back.
