The Boston cocktail shaker is normally seen as the option of the experts.
It consists of two parts; a glass cup and a metal tin.
With a bigger volume than a cobbler cocktail shaker, more than 1 drink can be shaken at once. This is invaluable during busy times.

Features Boston Cocktail Shaker
Boston Tin
The Boston shaker tin is made from metal and is normally around 28oz in quantity.
The rim of the tin is roughly 9-10cm to accommodate the smaller glass that adjusts inside.
The tin should be a conical design.
This is so the accompanying glass can slot inside but will prevent a quarter of the way down from making a seal.
The flexibility of the Boston shaker tin allows it to hold to the glass.

Boston Glass
Boston glass is a conical cup that’s normally around 16oz in quantity.
The glass is based on the standard American pint glass, and the volume is 16oz. The basic cup is normally a no-frills soda-lime glass but will be solid.
Due to the continuous impact of ice cubes and the need to bash and tap the glass to break or make the shaker’s seal, the glass can sometimes break and will need to be changed more often than tin.
