Starter cocktails for your new setup

Margarita

Shake tequila, lime, and triple sec hard over ice for a bright, frothy pour.

Mai Tai

Rum, orgeat, and citrus — a shaken tropical classic that rewards a confident seal.

Painkiller

Rum, pineapple, OJ, and coconut cream shaken until cold and strained over crushed ice.

Two tins and a strainer. That's the whole system.

The Boston shaker is what bartenders actually use. Two tins create a seal that holds under a hard shake, transfers heat faster than a cobbler shaker, and opens cleanly every time. This kit gives you the large tin, small tin, and strainer in one polished package so you can get started without piecing it together.

"I had a Houdini flip top for 10 years until it wore out, and they don't make them anymore. Then I bought another one, just a regular shaker that leaked, and I couldn't get the top off. I decided to buy this Boston shaker kit with the strainer, and it rocks! My "Martoonis" are great, LOL! Excellent and pro product! Thank you!"

"I'd call this one the "Mixonator 5000GX Turbo" Sleek and classy with a durable glassy. Make mine a double! A++ The Boston Shaker can help make any jackhole appear to be a cocktail master. I can't vouch for what your drinks might taste like, but you'll look sexy makin em with this thing in your hand. NOTE: Best results found in married men as vigorous wrist hand shaking stamina may vary with single sexually active males."

Questions before you buy

Do I need any other tools to start making cocktails with this kit?

You'll want a jigger for measuring and a bar spoon for stirring spirit-forward drinks. Those are sold separately in the catalog.

What's the difference between this kit and the black powder coat version?

Same tins, same strainer — the polished version has a bright mirror finish and the black powder coat version has a matte black finish. Both perform identically.

How do I open the tins after shaking?

Tap the base of the large tin firmly with the heel of your hand at the seam where the tins meet. It releases cleanly. Never twist or pry.

Are these tins dishwasher safe?

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the polished finish. They clean up quickly with warm water and dish soap.
